Yesterday, by chance (due to a family member dying,my father-in law) I had the task of helping choose a coffin, they are very compact, to say the least, my husband is 6'4 and heavy, he would not have fitted in them, (he will need super sizing), so I am even more horrified at doing this while you are alive, so the question is, what happens if someone is too big, or what happens if someone is really in trouble, during this experience.

Also my daughter wanted to know if they simulate dirt being thrown on top, just for an added extra :lol: :lol:, weird must run in the veins. lol

Sorry about bringing this up again, but I am strangly fasinated.

I'm real sorry about your Father-in-law Princess; sad news and I reckon we're all thinking of you. :(

Yes I would probably give this weird L and L thing a go just to say I've tried it but without vision, the whole ilusion would be lost on me I'm afraid. I'm hopeless on those simulators unless they move in time with what's being played on the screen like some in the States do. I always laugh when I hear screaming coming from these machines! :lol:

Thank you for your thoughts Ben,

Maybe they should get a crematorium feel, going, how hot could you stand it. I am sure the feeling of being closed in would still be just as hard for you Ben imagine no sound, not one, unable to move beside you, or above, can anyone tell I have given this a lot of thought. lol :lol:

Yeah you could be right princess. You've all sort of talked me into this ride idea after I hated it at first! It'll be interesting to see whether the real thing is as good as we've talked it up to be. It's debuting at Perth this year isn't it? We're sure to see it in Sydney if successful.

I really did not mean for all the condolences, though appreciate them, my little insight into the coffins, :oops: was where I was trying to lead, again thanks, we had a great funeral.

Now we will await the verdict on "Buried Alive" will any of our Western Australian members be trying this????? :wink:
