The simulator is intended to stop people from being scared of death (you
might argue that fear of death is quite sensible, but that’s beside the
point) and it begins by having you lie down on a giant conveyor belt
which takes you into an ‘oven’, where you ‘die’ and are ‘cremated’. Once
‘dead’ – bear with us here – you find yourself in a huge area made of
latex. This is the ‘womb’, from which you are ‘reborn’ into a ball pool.
‘This is a really interesting feeling,’ said one visitor, 33-year-old
Lu Siwei.‘It at least gives you the chance to calm down, and brings you
back to earth to think about some of life’s problems. I think this is
different. When you walk through that door, you will experience some
changes in your mentality, and it will be different from what it was
before you entered. ‘I think this is really great, and very
worthwhile.’The simulator opens today and costs the equivalent of £47
