These beds swallow the occupant(s) when they detect an earthquake.

What I want know is, what happens if the occupants manage to "make the earth move", sans earthquake?

1. Insta-coffin! - n/t

2. This really triggers my claustrophobia... Hell, I could never even use a tanning bed....

I guess I'm sunk....

3. OK, just watching that made my blood pressure go up.

I have claustrophobia and I would just end up hyperventilating to death. I will take my chances without that bed.

4. That looks like a human trap

5. Hell to the "No". What possibly could go wrong between earthquakes?

6. Gaahh!

Apart from the fact that the whole concept scares the crap out of me, I can't figure out how you can get to your supplies - the water, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc. - once your bed has descended into the protective box. It looks like the whole mattress goes down into the box and the lid closes above it (eek!), but then it's on top of the supplies so how can you get to them?

I don't think this will be a big seller.



The Turkish company that makes these things appears to be staffed by crazy people: https://www.toptenz.net/10-bewildering-visions-future-mad-tech-company.php

7. How do you get the mattress out of the way?

Those supplies will be useless.

Yep, instant coffin.

8. I can see those being used in a horror movie where the guests check-in, love the place,

go to sleep, only to be startled wake - entombed - with the sounds of an electric saw coming through the vents.

9. No thanks

Just watching how it works is giving me the heebee jeebees. I'm claustrophobic. I'd be in there panicking and probably have a heart attack or something.

10. What happens if they have to poop before they are rescued?

I would have to poop.

11. Finding myself swallowed up by my bed and stuck in a small, dark container

would definitely cause me to poop.

[Generic Brad]

12. Then you have to smell that while waiting to be rescued?

Waiting while entombed in a small spacer an interminable amount of time? I would rather be crushed in the earthquake.
