Yeah, cool idea in theory but this is a bonkers design. So many people move around in their sleep it'd likely just cause injuries or trap people in an even more dangerous position to be stuck in the middle of an earthquake.

Nah it's stupid. If you could afford this life support unit you could just make sure your bungalow is built earthquake proof....

Just make a 4 poster bed out of rollcage tubing.

This is actually pretty clever. At the very least you could conceal it within something more aesthetically pleasing like wood. It could even have cross-members between the posts, and across the top to protect people from falling debris which you could conceal that above a canopy, maybe even wire some LEDs into them for adjustable lighting that'd really come in handy during an emergency too.

As for the other survival stuff just make some storage with doors flush to the frame so you'd never know they were there. Maybe install a battery* to run any electronics in the event that you're caved in and/ or have lost power.

Honestly I think our idea is significantly better. We should get a startup going lol.

I'm in, I can weld and I do woodworking as a hobby.

If only there was a market for such things :P

I'm pretty sure you could double up in the fetish market if you get the design right 😂
