The frequency of natural disasters around the world has seen an alarming increase. The scale at which the natural calamity strikes is also going up. Each disaster seems to be of a greater magnitude than the previous one. China had witnessed an earth quake of a very high magnitude which had resulted in many deaths and casualties because the debris could not be removed quickly enough. Perhaps these incidents motivated a Chinese man named Wang Wenxi to design an innovative bed that could help earth quake victims to survive.
Wang has been granted a patent for the design of his earthquake-proof bed. The bed with modular furniture, including cupboards, at each end is designed to automatically turn into a strong box to help people survive an earthquake. The high tech bed has a high load bearing board and in case of the natural calamity the components of the bed automatically combine to form a strong box.
It is suggested that the cupboard attached to the bed must always be stored with things necessary for survival so that the victim can survive under the debris for several days before being rescued. The bed is no doubt very good as an insurance against an earthquake but since it will be in use on a regular basis it would be beneficial to add some entertainment options to the bed.
