There is safety in the distance between volatile objects. On the other hand, is there any danger that results from this distance? Obviously, if an object or person is trustworthy, it or they can be held close to oneself. With the experience of speed being so similar between virtuality and reality, the final issue becomes when the objective safety of the media is negated by the actual danger of real speed.

A spectator has perceptual distance from the vehicle. There is a lack of objective control, and the existence of a significant physical distance from other dangerous objects. When a spectator has control over the vehicle however, the perceptual distance appears to decrease. The key observation here is that media technologies create subjective danger with objective safety.

'By acting, the brain thrusts its body into the future space-time of the world while predicting the sensory consequences' (Freeman, 2000: 1)

In the cinema, the sensory prediction of any oncoming danger occurs without any objective danger. However, when the aporias and the vehicle are in the same spatio-temporality, there will be a possibility of contact, which could result in a catastrophe. On the other hand, the aporias within virtual environments are in a different spatio-temporality to the kinematic subject, and thus contact between the two is only possible through the vehicle of media technologies.
