i heard the recent earthquake in Italy killed a lot of people as they slept.
why not sleep inside a shipping container or some other protective thing? you could design it to feel comfortable- maybe like a coccon. it might even be a perfect sleeping chamber.
biggest problem i can foresee is
ensuring it's not a deathtrap in case of fire. ...?

I guess a smaller equivalent would be better. [Skrewloose, Apr 10 2009]

Widely known to exist, except folks who sleep in shipping containers are usually either dock workers or homeless. Also baked by my Safety Coffin. |

Be gentle it's their first post. (Please search first
then post second). Just kidding. Nice first try

<commercial punchline>
"I slept right through it" |
|
| |
Yeah, I didn't mean to come across as rude or abrupt. Just pointing out that it's been done. Was a good try, though. Good enough that others have thought of it, at least. |
|

I read the title as, a sleeping chamber that would continuously simulated earthquakes. |
|
| |
Also for terror fanatics this would be great ,
example: exorcist demonic bed action
the edge here is you can't run away because you would be trapped, heightened terror |
|
| |
Anyone thinking 'blast from the past' here, or is it just me? |
|
| |
//'blast from the past'// you mean fallout shelters ? or it's one of those deja-vu HB posts. |

Perhaps with powerful explosives on the outside, that can be activated after a certain amount of time if you are buried deep in rubble. This would notify volunteers that you are there. <These aren't the droids your looking for> There is nothing wrong with the plausibility of this. </TATDYLF> |

The trouble is not so much the getting in, but the getting out...Perhaps we could activate some of those vacuum balloons we are so fond of. |
|
| |
Or, if the earthquake was sufficiently large and long in duration, we could ride the "brasil nut " effect to the top. |

I'd be all for a sleeping chamber that simulates all the things in life that make it difficult to sleep. Could be useful to see if you could build a tolerance. Earthquakes, of course, would be a good one. Followed by hail on a tin roof. Then drive-by shootings. Then next-door construction, complete with 7 AM jackhammering. Then next-door babies crying loudly, neighborhood dogs barking, etc... |
