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 slept right through it" |

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. |
