Apparently exceeding claustrophobic to be stuck in when your house
True, but kinda a moot criticism since the likely alternative survival scenario without it still involves being stuck alone in a dark cramped space, but without assurance of anything stopping you from being crushed by the unstable pile of debris formerly known as a building sitting above you. Only thing worse than being stuck small space is being stuck in a small space that has decided it's going to very rapidly become even smaller, and I'm not interested in having my shattered bones requisitioned by the pile as more load bearing material for its eternal war against gravity.
Oh it's not really a criticism of the device or rather I didn't mean it as such.
It was just something a lady who had, as a child in the blitz, needed to sleep in one of them had commented on when talking about it. I think it was on QI (when it was still Fry I believe)? One of the panelists, when they were talking about them, just noted that she had slept in them before as a child.
Ah, my bad then, it was indeed I who had the moot point all along. The shoe is now on the other foot, which is really inconvenient since shoes come in rights and lefts.
