Physicist (OP) User ID: 28780156 United Kingdom 12/14/2012 06:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have to say, I LOL'd when they reversed the truck into it. The sound is hilarious. And they really don't care about that beat-up truck, do they?!! EDIT - also a bit of a PITA if it stops rolling with the hatch facing down or blocked. I think I'd want two hatches or a tin-opener. Last Edited by Physicist on 12/14/2012 06:09 AM |

No point in having the locking mechanism if the door will break before it needs to be turned... And yeah, lol @ the lava. The only thing I could think MIGHT prevent this, is if it is set to sea.. but if that were to happen you'd inevitably die from lack of nutrients and water. Good lock to anyone who buys one of these... |

They the Chinese will send those home-made helicopters to rescue your remains inside the ball. Chinese home-made "safety" devices... Really??? "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |
UndercoverAlien User ID: 29769658 Brazil 12/14/2012 06:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looks more like a shitstorm to me! I'm sure you want to be strapped with '70s VW seat belts at kitchen chairs bolted inside a 5 meter-diameter hard ball with no damping system at all, during an earthquake. "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |

ParallaxPam User ID: 15366249 United States 12/14/2012 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw an episode of Inventions USA (Season 2) where a couple of guys invented something similar called the RES-Q Pod. It wasn't round though, theirs was shaped more like the old space capsules (but smaller) with the bottom weighted so it would always stay upright with the hatch on top. The investors took a ride in it and got all banged up. [link to www.poptower.com] |

JennOfArc User ID: 25237221 United States 12/14/2012 08:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've seen at least two others built for Tsunami purposes, one was clear, and had a second orb inside the first orb gyro type mechanism that kept you upright while rolling. Waterproof of course. The premise being, if you only have seconds before you're going to wash away, you get inside, you float, and the balls are tough enough to take massive hits from debris etc. |
