Even comes with a stripper pole...

The spherical pod dubbed Life Armor is a disaster shelter that comes with everything imaginable for temporary survival in a storm. The ball is 1.2 meters in diameter, weighs approximately 80 kilograms and is able to withstand 9.3 tons of pressure. It comes with a rear handle, making it easy to carry to your desired destination. What makes the Life Armor even better is that it includes solar panels for battery storage, a life jacket, a megaphone and a GPS tracking device so you can be found by rescue teams. The shelter is made to stay afloat, even though it can withstand a 25 meter plunge. Everything in the pod is completely waterproof so we can be prepared for another 'Frankenstorm.'

If its waterproof and airtight, how do you breathe?? It's not real big. Does it have a supply of oxygen?

Are you supposed to climb inside that thing and have that thing bounce around like you are on some giant foosball table?

I don't think I could fit in that thing.

The question is will the person inside withstand the 25 meter plunge

I think it was made in Japan, they probably need a larger American version...

I am bigger than even your average American so I don't think this is going to work for me. Frankly, I would probably rather die than be stuck in that thing for any length of time. I get claustrophobic in small spaces (almost said tight but tight can be good in the right context).

While it needs to be larger, Ill trust them to build it over any American company.

where is the puke bag?
