Sleep safe! Here’s a bed that swallows you up during an earthquake (vid)

It could save your life

Every so often, Greece is prone to an earthquake. Now, people can sleep a little sounder thanks to the creation of the earthquake-proof bread that protects slumbering occupants during a quake. It works like a Venus flytrap, dropping the matress down into a chamber covered with a protective lid when sensors feel the ground is shaking.

Invented by Chinese designer Wang Wenxi, he has updated his designs since the first earthquake-proof bed in 2010. The box can be opened from within but there are no details regarding where the exit would be if a large piece of debris landed on the lid locking it shut.
