Holy fuck.. bury it 6 feet, and it'll protect you at Ground Zero from a nuclear bomb!

I wonder if the curvature of the top on its own can carry the weight of 6-8 feet of dirt? Or would it need to be reinforced?

Man, now I know what I want for my birthday!!!

It sure looks to me like it could hold the weight and the video specifically says it can be covered with earth...

Yep, I think this needs to be my birthday present too...

This is cool!
I am going to have to tell some friends of this. Gonna have to check prices. May have to go in on one of these. In times like these it may be good to have this around.

Thanks for posting.

No prices listed... You have to call about the size and number of these you want.

I wonder what the retail potential of this is? There is a lot of money to be made from the doom mongers...

I'm guessing that these guys are probably hoping to sell big lots of these for military and other government use....it may not be something that they are willing to sell individually yet. And coming from the UK probably makes it even more expensive than the tornado shelters that I've been looking at which are coming from the Midwest.

Thanks for DIY links quantummystic.
