How to make fail-safe for full body virtual reality?

My VR machine isn't the plug-it-to-your-brain type, but instead it's more like a "reality sphere" around your body that have some kind of gravity machine to keep you in the center of the sphere and some kind of gray goo that can reshape to create physical contact experience (imagine the robot from Terminator series). It's designed for entertainment and education purpose and aimed for general public.

As you know it, the worst case scenario of VR is to be stuck inside of it. So I make a fail-safe to prevent this from happening.

To quit the simulation you can either: push the button on your VR watch, OR say 'WOLUBA', OR simply close your eyes for 10 seconds.

The machine also detect your vital sign and will automatically stopped itself and contact the authority should you faint... Or die. It's also create a barrier around your body to reduce the force you might get to a non-harmful level and prevent the gray goo from entering your body.

What do you think of this fail-safe design? Do you find any flaw in it? Do you thing there are other thing that I forget to consider? Do you have a better fail-safe design?
