Reactions and some Ingame-Footage of the Occulus Rift
One thing that interests me is the control aspect. By definition, this is only viable for a first person view point. You could maybe use it for 3rd person, but that seems kinda pointless.
Currently first person games assume 2 main control inputs, position and direction. I'm ignoring action based inputs (shooting, reloading using, etc) because this doesn't really change those. Right now, an FPS essentially assumes your body always faces the same way as your head. If you run forward and look right, you turn right.
This will have to change for this, or it's pointless. Essentially you'll need 3 inputs, position, direction and head orientation. That's doable with this system, but I'm not sure how it will affect gameplay. I certainly don't want to aim using my head.

First Person View Of A Lion Encounter

I'm afraid I cannot see any correlation between driving a car, and climbing into a cage with a lion! A car is an inanimate object. It is not susceptible to whims, or moods, and has not existed for millennia with the sole purpose of tearing living animals apart to feed it's family. Of course they both have risks - putting on your socks has risks. But there are rational risks, and bloody stupid risks. Your example, which compares one as equatable to the other is, frankly, a non-sequitur. As for
Steve Irwin; His death, as any, was tragic. But here was an "expert" who, despite his knowledge, died at the hands of a wild animal. I think that proves my point, there are NO experts.
Although the car is inanimate, it is susceptible to whims and moods -- certainly the whims and moods of other drivers (and yourself), but arguably also the occasional "quirk" in the machinery or state of some parts that can exhibit itself almost like a living thing. Perhaps it was a poor example or non-sequitur (RIP Mitch Heberg), but it makes sense to me anyway.
Maybe there are no "experts" with these wild animals (-- maybe there are no expert drivers?) but the difference between a rational risk and a bloody stupid risk is subjective, and I think that the people that work with these animals for a living (or as their passion) are personally quite comfortable with what they are doing, and believe that the risks they are taking are rational. Even if they know/believe that what they are doing has more risk of injury/death than other jobs/hobbies/activities, they feel that it is worth doing.
We don't have to agree with them. I find things like smoking or bungee jumping to be bloody stupid risks (or more accurately activities with an extremely poor cost-benefit analysis), but to people that do and love those things, my personal difference of opinion with them is of no concern (nor should it be). Life's a messy thing; no matter how much padding or how many safety nets we surround ourselves with our luck will run out eventually. I think that for the dude in this video (and for Steve Irwin), the chance to live their lives loving what they do is worth the risk of dying from it.

I have absolutely no time for these idiots. And it matters not how many years experience they have. It is a wild beast, UN-trainable, Treating a Lion, Tiger, Bear etc. as if you could possibly anticipate its reactions is a recipe for disaster, ask Zeigfried and Roy.
I am tempted to mostly agree with you, but to play devil's advocate:
You might say the same thing about a car. You might be an excellent driver: years of experience, can easily and calmly avoid an accident in virtually all scenarios, never drive distracted or without an appropriate amount of focus, etc. In spite of that, once in a while your car may have some problem at exactly the wrong moment -- maybe you blow a tire just before some ice on a curve, or while trying to merge in front of a semi or something. Or maybe some drunk and/or lunatic does something that even perfect defensive driving can't prepare you for.
Driving a car can put you into situations that are impossible to anticipate on control -- recipes for disaster. Yet many of us still get behind the wheel every day. We accept that there is a small (although probably greater than we readily admit) chance of disaster, and figure that the convenience and functionality of driving/riding in a vehicle is worth the risk.
For some people, working with these animals must seem a bit like that. Steve Irwin worked with very dangerous animals all the time. He took risks that seemed like insanity to those of us that don't have the same motivations and drive that he did. And he got burned in a billion-to-one freak accident with an animal that is far less dangerous than many he worked with. My guess is that although he died as a result, if you asked his ghost what he thought about that he would likely reply "no regrets".

Oh people who can still zoom into first person view, awesome
Skyrim - Do NOT Mess With Giants
Yeah, I got to experience that flight in the first person view as well. As the guys at Penny Arcade said, Giants don't care how many dragons you've killed... So true.
