Get Ready For The Next Disaster By Hiding Inside A Floating Ball

With so many hurricanes and earthquakes and tsunamis and 2012 only being a year away, I wouldn’t blame you for preparing for the end of the world. So feel free to buy the Noah Disaster Shelter, a gigantic yellow pod that can house four people.

It costs a pretty penny at $US3900 but think about how safe you’ll feel (and the money you’ll make) when three of your closest friends (or family members) come a knockin’. It’s an investment people! The Noah Disaster Shelter, created by New CosmoPower, protects up to four people. There’s a pole to hold on to and room for pillows to make it a wee bit more comfortable too. No one ever said a tsunami is luxurious.

The pod is resistant to impact and water so you can float around your destroyed city until stuff calms down. Think of it as a modern day version of Noah’s ark, except you can’t re-create civilisation with it. I guess saving yourself is enough! [Asahi via DVICE]

    The build quality on that looks..ahem…questionable.

    Also, I like how he demonstrates how “strong” it is by grabbing a sledge hammer and lightly tapping the top.

    And then when they crack it open after finding it drifting in the Pacific, they find it filled with excrement and four very traumatised Japanese people.
