As a result, casualties any more because they do not have time to save themselves.
Inventor of China, Wang Wenxi, trying to overcome this problem by creating a bed that protects users from the quake.
Resembles a cross between a strong box and the Venus flytrap, the mattress would "swallow" the user into the space beneath complete with a protective cover when the sensor felt the ground shaking.
Users can then wait in a box strong earthquake in this until help arrives, or the quake subsided.
Wang Wenxi grant patents for earthquake-proof bed in early 2010 and has since updated the design.
The original design showed the bed consists of a large metal box with a mattress on top.
When the earthquake came, this mattress will fall thanks to hinged mechanism, while the lid of the box on top, sealing the inside.
The second design, the hinges are in the middle of the bed, so that the mattress "drip" to the bottom of the box.
This bed will even have space for supplies, including water, food, and P3K box. But how users can access all of this is still unclear.
Judging from the size and sturdy construction, the user may need to ask for help to carry it up the stairs. [Source: kompas.com]
