This Door Is Purported to Save Lives During Earthquakes [Earthquake]

When an Earthquake hits, what do you do? Typical Earthquake 101 tells you to run to the nearest doorway to offer protection to yourself under the ” strongest frame inside the house” . This bendable door is speculated to improve on that thinking.

However! Recent theories (Earthquake 201, I assume) suggest that standing underneath a normal doorway isn’t any better than being any where else during an earthquake. They now teach people to drop to the ground, go underneath a table and hold on. This idea door from student Younghwa Lee style of mimics being underneath a table while being underneath a doorframe, which in a fashion, sorta blends the two Earthquake schools of thought together.

If you haven’t been in an Earthquake before, well damn, you’re lucky. Get some practice before 2012. [ Gizmag via Neatorama ]
