And if the SAO duel's are anything like standard MMO-fare duel's there's probably an opt-out button somewhere. Spoiler:

But from what I've read, even duels that are "50% health victory" duels CAN be dangerous if the last attack is a critical hit. As Asuna said way back in episode 5, people can still die in normal duels because your health drops, although it is unlikely.

From previous episodes you can see that Kirito carries around a lot equipment from different levels, sometimes to blend with lower levels and sometimes to give away to cute girls XD. |

Well, great episode. Even if I wasn't bothered by the side stories I have to say that this first episode feels like something else. But I knew it would have happened. I mean, they were able to make me like side stories that I usually consider equally to filler episodes.
The quality really impressed me, btw, it looks like they did a great job here, better than before. Anyways Asuna is awesome, freakin awesome. I love how strong she is, but keeping her feminine traits!! That's the perfect formula Something that was a little surprising is the cliffhanger at the end of the episode. Hasn't they been a "bit" reckless getting in the boss room? Even in relation of Asuna previous concern on how unpredictable the monsters have become since lvl. 70.

In mmo's there's usually only 2 reasons to get a second weapon, either because of different properties /skillsets/style you are going to use or spoiler for it might considered speculation on my side Spoiler:

I don't think it's that reckless. "The boss can't leave the room" is another one of those absolute rules they've lived with for 74 floors already. It's related to the fairness of the game that Kirito was talking about earlier. You simply don't fight the boss until you're ready, and you can always run away. You can either accept it or give up and die. Given that they no longer have any beta knowledge to tell them even vaguely what to expect from a boss, entering the room to see what it does and then resetting it before it gets dangerous would be the only way to develop any kind of strategy. Of course, it's not perfectly safe, but that's why there's so much tension in the scene. It needs to be done though. Think of them as a scouting party.

The only problem I have with Kirito's initiative is that... they would be screwed to no end if the door suddenly close behind them, and it would logically be a "immortal object".
Even more "funny" if the boss room would be a anti crystal room, like the chest trap room in ep3, or the dragon's lair. Closed room during boss fights are not unheard of, especially in RPG and MMO.

I'd be amazed if next week's episode started with them closing the door and deciding to duo the boss rather than waiting for the other 498 front line fighters to get there and slowly gather intel on the boss. We've seen a boss strategy meeting for a floor boss, and a field boss. It's safe to assume no one ever decides to just fight the boss for kicks in a death game. |

But yeah it could certainly be dangerous if any of those things happen. But they've cleared over 70 floors so they should be sharp enough to realize those risks and remain cautious.

Just saying... VRMMO's may be super advanced, and we may not know it from the anime... but you spend enough time looking at pixelated versions of people, our hostages may have some uncanny valley issues when dealing with 'real people'. |
