BED OF THE WEEK: PROTECTION FROM EARTHQUAKES
by Hazed
If an earthquake happens during the day you can get outside into the open, or shelter in something solid. But what if the shaking starts at night, when you are tucked up in bed asleep? Why, the house could fall on you before you have a chance to get to safety.
That’s why somebody has invented a bed that will protect you from earthquakes. When it detects the ground starting to shake, it splits open allowing you to fall inside it, then it closes up around you.
Personally, the idea of a bed that swallows you up triggers all kinds of nightmares for me, but then I don’t live anywhere prone to earthquakes.
