Anti-Earthquake Bed

I think you are much more likely to be injured or killed by such beds malfunctioning during false alarms than you are during an earthquake.
 
Vigorous sex would likely trigger the stupid thing. Kind of a neat idea otherwise. You are already in your coffin when get buried under tons of rubble.
 
I counter with pro-earthquake bed

And in other news, there was one fatality after yesterday's 3.0 earthquake, when a 29 year old woman was decapitated by the protective armor of her earthquake-proof bed. Now here's Jillian with the weather.

But hey, at least that 29 year old woman had a supply of food, water, and... health packs?(seriously was that supposed to be multiple first aid kits?) with a mattress in the way.
 
ROFL...these are the bed that can protect you from earthquakes, but if you die from the mechanism or the earthquake they can also be your coffin.
 
My guess? Art-school project. No company in the world would build this. Too much liability for loss of life or injury. I have a much cheaper solution. If you don't like earthquakes, move. There are plenty of places that get very few earthquakes.
 
What the hell... Thank goodness they have so many varieties and continue to show some supplies under each mattress. I want the fireproof/waterproof model with a tornado sensor, just to make sure I cover all my bases.
 
Your not gonna want to use any of those products under the bed when your pissing and shitting all over them waiting

The water bottles, once emptied, will contain the urine, and the food packs will be resealable to contain the feces.

Yeah but at least you can drink the 400 liters of water in there while you die of slow asphyxiation in a private hell of your own feces and urine. And likely while bleeding out because the bed cut off your hand or foot when it triggered.

Presuming the bed was triggered, the building likely collapsed around you. Thus meaning you and the bed and you were both injured when the floor collapsed. Now you are hurt and are now laying at a weird angle were peeing into a bottle or shitting into a tiny box isn't easy.
 
So when the bed encapsulates you, gf or wife, the mattress, all the bedding, maybe a couple pets, how the fuck are you supposed to get the supplies underneath all that? Its a god damned tomb.
 
Aside from loosing any limb or decapitation from a body part that sticks over the side, I can see some serious PTSD lawsuits arising from normal intercourse, sonic booms, or a bed trigged from not getting routine maintenance.
So yeah, other than those edge cases, its a good idea..
 
Folded up, to prolong your suffering towards death as you think of all the supplies under your mattress that you can't get to because you are a taco.

The mattress AND whatever platform was holding the mattress up.

Yay! I'm dying of dehydration, but it's okay! There's water less than a foot from me that I just can't get to!
 
Maybe a poor choice for earthquakes but the concept might be useful as a mini 'panic room' in certain countries or areas.
 
By the title I'm wondering how a bed is supposed to stop / deter an earthquake .....
Design is a basically your tomb.

If you really need assurance from earthquake harm, move to a lower building built to resist earthquake damage.
 
So, when the mattress lowers into the box, with all the supplies underneath, how do you get to them?
Why not just make the bedroom itself a safe room, reinforced walls and supplies.
 
Since fire is many time a byproduct of earthquake, how will this bead protect you from the intense heat while the house burn around you. Even asbestos suit only protect you from the heat for a few minutes...
 
water, food, and other supplies. let me think here.....



what do you do when you have to go to the bathroom in this thing?
Air supply? your going to be under a lot of ruble.
and as above it looks dangerous
 
Yep I see lots of loss of limbs and life with this but hey If I could just put a small gaming system in there I might make it like a weekend retreat. Now I can see adding some all terrain tracks, a periscope, lights and a few other tasty items to make it like a rover that can drive you to a safe location.
 
i hope that thing has a/c because if this happens in the summer its going to be hot as hell in there before you die.
 
also..... How the heck do you get out of there once you are in? I'd still like to have the option to be able to crawl out of there if it feels safe.

How about a rocket that houses all the beds, at the onset of the shocks, they seal and launch, propel themselves our to a location and dump everyone out in their sealed bed - become an escape pod?

I think undergoing a low earth orbit rocket launch is better then being buried alive in a steel box under tons of rubble.
 
You don't get out. Notice the video of the apartment collapsing? The idea is that the weight of rubble and hopefully the fall don't kill you this way. Rescuers dig you out... the edges let in air. It's not sealed.

If it was a massive earthquake you have some supplies left intact under the bed you can consume for the first few days.

It works. The bed is still dangerous as hell, but it works.

You could do the same thing by tastefully designing a bed frame, or in-wall support structure that would also survive the building collapsing.

I really don't know how anyone would be ok even in one of those if you were on the 3rd or 4th or higher floors and the building really gives way under you. Any real free-fall and the only "softer landing" direction is the mattress. There's no way to guarantee what orientation you are going to be in when that thing hits the rubble of the lower floors.

Just unpleasant thoughts in general. :) Not a fun times product.
