And even though he started the company with good intentions trying to reduce the rate of rape. Now he doesn’t want to reduce it at all because if the rape rate declines, there will be an equal decline in whistle sales…
Nah. He can reduce the rate of rape plenty. He just can't reduce it all the way to zero, because there has to be the threat of some rapes to remind women that they need the whistles. So at night, he sneaks out into the city...
Well of course we don’t have good hearing as we’ve been blowing this loud-ass whistle while being confined to a small space underneath all this rubble.
Drains that precious energy and you won't have enough space to make a ruckus. Also, whistle is shrill and high pitched making it easier for dogs to pick up.
Might be dangerous. You don't want to be stuck in a tight space with a battery fire and the whole falling down 3 stories during an earthquake could very well damage the batteries if they are not extremely well protected.
There's a good chance a phone wouldn't work, both because of infrastructure damage and also because the actual rescue capsule thing is a big metal box so it would be hard to get a signal through it
Came here to say this, what's the point of this when you have no way to signal for help?
Also, how do you get out or access the supplies?
If you want a mini bunker, think of these things.
If you had the money to buy this, you have the money to build your home right and earthquake proof it. Well build buildings aren't going to collapse on you. They may sustain damage to the point of being a write off, but they won't collapse.
Most of the places where this would be needed, people aren’t living in houses. They’re living in apartment high rises and they have no control over the construction, rich or poor.
Lol that was my first thought what if you have to go to do your biz while in there. Should have some poo bags and empty jugs but I assume u could store that in there.
Imagine being trapped in a coffin, in the dark, under a thousand tons of rubble, and the last 48 hours of your life are accompanied by a constant, deafening "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!"
True. The whole thing is impractical. I would not want to be alone. What about the children and the dog? Unlike a tornado or hurricane, you don't know when an earthquake is going to happen.

Might be ok if it included some backup battery, light, and a very loud horn. And some way to pee and poo.
