What I want know is, what happens if the occupants manage to "make the earth move", sans earthquake?

(115,879 posts)Apart from the fact that the whole concept scares the crap out of me, I can't figure out how you can get to your supplies - the water, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc. - once your bed has descended into the protective box. It looks like the whole mattress goes down into the box and the lid closes above it (eek!), but then it's on top of the supplies so how can you get to them?
I don't think this will be a big seller.
The Turkish company that makes these things appears to be staffed by crazy people: https://www.toptenz.net/10-bewildering-visions-future-mad-tech-company.php
