A Japanese Company CosmoPower has created a new type of safety vessel called Noah.

At £2.5k, it's quite pricey.

People who live in earthquake areas, prone to potential tsunamis, would you buy one?

I get the claustrophobia bit of it, it would be like climbing into a bright yellow coffin.
If a tsunami siren went off, it was miles to high ground and I had one of those to hand, it may seem like a lifeboat on a sinking ship.

You wouldn't want to get in one but when the situation was right, maybe you would?

Maybe, I guess if I were put in a situation like that then I'm sure I would go into survival mode. I would certainly hate to look out that little minature window and see thousands of those yellow balls floating around at sea. Not only would I get clausterphobia but I would be wondering who in the hell are they gonna save first!

no way - no how

it is of such limited utility - that you are better off being on your feet and able to react

I wonder how well that thing will hold up when a bus gets shoved over it by the rushing water.

I don't think you'd stand much chance being hit by a bus, maybe you'd just bounce off it and float with the current, I really don't know.
You'd take a fair few knocks but you'd have a better chance of surviving in it than fighting the current with all that debris around you unprotected.
I guess you'd have to weigh up the odds of being able to make it to higher ground, not only yourself but your family too.
