i can imagine that stimulating motion within the inner ear leaves the possibility for many problems to occur. If children are affected (which by the way isn't really all that funny when you consider the possibility of permanent medical damage) then adults too could have problems. My worry is that this could have a lasting affect. An inner ear imbalance can often affect someone for several hours afterwards, (example after a plane flight many people are left with the world slightly tipsy for awhile) The longer exposure, the longer the disorientation lasts. Prolonged interference with the inner ear, both for a certain amount of time without a break and with continuous use over a period of weeks or months may in the end cause permanent unpredictable damage. I hate to imagine all the affected people out on the roads driving!
