Earthquake-Proof Bed

fullinsight.com:

The biggest danger during an earthquake is getting crushed by stuff falling around you. That’s why experts will tell you to take cover under furniture or in a doorway. Better still would be to have a special crush-resistant place to hide, like this 65-ton seismic bed. And because exploiting people’s fear of a crushing death is a great way to sell products, a Japanese furniture manufacturer is introducing a $5,600 earthquake-proof ‘Wood Luck’ bed. The thing that makes it “earthquake-proof” is its specially treated cedar frame, capable of withstanding up to 65 tons of pressure without breaking. Does your ceiling weigh that much?
