The worst scenario: sent out to sea

Duncan's design has also considered the worst case scenario -- of passengers helplessly being swept out to sea. Exterior beacon lights flash to attract rescuers, and to help with mobility, wheels at the base of the pod can be detached.

Lifting hooks enable helicopters to theoretically be able to lift or drag the pod to safety.

Good Idea
Inspired by the movie 2012?
Now all you need a larger family version, and lots of storage, toilet facility, solar or forced ventilation, lighting etc.
Great idea though.
Help may not arrive for some time ... lots of blinking lights on the pod.

I will just ride the wave to my next life.
