It may look like a giant snooker ball, but this spherical capsule could save your life.

When a natural disaster strikes, whether it is a tsunami or earthquake, there are very few places to find shelter.

But now, The Survival Capsule - a personal safety system in the form of a giant ball - has been designed to combat this issue.

This capsule, which features two small porthole windows so the occupants can see what is going on around them, was created to give individual groups and families more control of their survival in emergency situation than traditional 'safe houses.'

Julian Sharpe, founder of The Survival Capsule, said: 'It gives [people] an option of having a security system on their own property which is easily accessible day or night and really gives the family a safe security they wouldn't otherwise have.'

The sphere is designed to withstand the initial impact of a natural disaster, as well as sharp object penetration, heat exposure, blunt object impact, and rapid deceleration.

The capsules come in various sizes ranging from two-person capacity, for family homes, all the way up to a ten-person capacity, which could be used for businesses and schools.

So then bad guys will be able to see you’re in it, and roll it around until you’ve puked on yourself so much whatever the bad guys have planned will seem enjoyable. Good plan.

You know what this TOTALLY looks like?

The presidential survival pod in the movie Escape From New York, seen in the very beginning of the movie.

That unit is designed specifically for people to get in an survive the surge of water from a tsunami wave. Small wonder why the Japanese are expressing strong interest to start production of such a protection device.
