Tsunami Survival Pod

One has to carry it around on his shoulders as he/she moves in the endangered areas, or what?

 

Standing on top of a hill works really well too, but then you need to survive the aftermath...

A tsunami at sea is nothing --it can even pass by unnoticed . It is when it hits shallow water or land that it manifests destruction.

 

That's one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. Frosty's correct, at sea there's no need for it and if on land, the G forces of being strapped in a 55 gallon drum, being tossed around like a cork, will snap the necks of the occupants.

 

Already got it covered, pax wear helmets with tethers not unlike drag or race cars to avoid neck snapping.

 

I'm pretty sure someone will buy it.

 

The only way I would be interested would be if there were holes in the bottom for me to stick my legs through and walk about.

 

LOL!!!

 

Using a "Hans" devise to prevent rapid head movement doesn't do a thing for your internal origins, which will also slam about, as it's pitched around. These internal injuries are what kill most, in rapid acceleration/deceleration incidents.

 

PAR, it's imho pointless to discuss this thing at any serious technical or operational level.
Issues (immediate ones):
- one has to be nearby one of these when tsunami hits
- one needs to have enough time to get into that coffin, fasten himself, wear a helmet, fasten the helmet, close the hatch and make a prayer
- one need to be trained to do the above operations, and should go through drills every so often
- it can do nothing for your survival when the mass of mud and debris firmly clamps you to the bottom
- will cost a hell lots
- you're more likely te die from a heart attack inside one of these than running for a higher ground
- you're more likely to survive if you get to a higher ground than if you wait for your destiny inside that stuff
- etc.
Many other can be found if one just stops and thinks it over.

But, as I said, someone will for sure buy that stuff. Probably the same type of persons who spend a fortune to build and equip a high-tech anti-nuclear refuge at their home basements.
They make a very small but rich market niche. Well, just like pleasure boaters do, after all.

 

origins??????

 

Organs, I presume...

 

Either will do . . .

 

It needs to be tested................ I suggest Niagra Falls. I would do what Frosty says put in 2 little leg holes so if you get caught in a whirlpool you can frog kick your way out.
