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.'

“But does it protect against microaggression and triggering?”

Maybe for those version they can paint over the window.

I can imagine: She said, “Honey, I need to go baaaad!” He said, “Dear, if you pop the porthole, we drown!”

So then bad guys will be able to see you’re in it, and roll it around until you’ve puked on yourself

They'll roll it into a burning house or large bonfire, and the occupants will be roasted to death.

I was thinking the same thing ... and it would not even take malice to want emergency egress capabilities. Here in the PNW we have volcanos that can level a forest in seconds. Assuming I had time to get in one, how do I get out if a 50 ton Cedar is laying in front of the door?

You can upgrade to the ‘Langolier’ model ball.
Like Chuck Norris, it can swim through land.
