Earthquake Beds
Earthquake Beds - Claustrophobic? Not for You!!
Watch this video and tell me if you'd get one of these.
Think about this: How LONG will it take rescuers to get to you? Don't be naive' for goodness sake.
And then, what about fire? What happens if a fire rages out of control in your damaged building?

I would not get one of these! Like a lot of things, things don't always work when they aren't used, or when electronics are used, they can malfunction when you least expect. One would do better with additional support above and below the bed.
There's no way that I would sleep in these "death traps". They may protect against earthquakes well but there's so many situations that would work against a person sleeping in one.
Roasty toasty in a fire.
Tim, Being a retired first responder, I was trained in confined space rescue and building collapse rescue. A very long and tedious process for rescue. Sounding equipment has advanced rescue scenarios looking for the alive. These "beds" seem like they would keep you from being crushed but with enough air to keep you alive? Or some kind of sound system to run for days/weeks when you become exhausted from yelling? I think people would almost need "Mercury Astronaut" training for the claustrophobia. As for the answers, It takes one crew about one day to clear a building for checking alive. Getting them out is another story. That's why lots of departments respond because rescuers can't stop and go home in the middle of an operation. Rotating the crews is the answer. And the more the merrier. Fire, sorry. As Tony Soprano says: Forgetaboutit.
If you anchor it correctly, It could be a storm shelter as well !
You have got to be kidding I’ve got to ask how many people die in bed due to an earthquake? The thing reminds me of a coffin or in the event of a fire, a cremator. I wouldn’t invest one red cent into this idea.
