The Tornado Ball

Picture a ball about as big as a recliner. It is clear, made out of something like Lexan or an acrylic dense enough to stop a close range .45 cal. bullet. Inside the ball a metal framework is built that a "video game recliner" like chair is mounted to this frame that works in such a way that even if the ball spins...the seat doesn't move much..and within the ball much of it was filled with something dense like an airbag that an airplane might use to land on the water, but this airbag is filled with some material more absorbing than air except for the area around the view. and door access.

A tornado comes...you climb in it, lock the door, turn on the inboard video cam, tighten all your straps and bam! it hits your house. You are shielded from all the debris it doesn't penetrate the ball. The winds lift you and you sail round and round this twisting hurricane...but not dizzily because the seat spins very slowly and moves very little...even if the ball is being spun violently.

You'd probably see gory sights, cows, cars, people, cats and dogs, and eventually plan on getting thrown pretty violently into something..at whatever speed the wind in that hurricane is spinning. But this crash ball is prepared for just that. It would be a "tornado ball" and many people would use them for protection. Especially with ever increasing RV parks...which is where our economy and life style is at this point rapidly increasing numbers. This Tornado Ball would offer protection. Keep the prices affordable.

Eventually as they prove safe, areas in the tornado alley would become high tourist season during tornado's most active months...people who would try to "ride the wave", or have their own video of their own "tornado ride".

Someday it may be hard to believe that I wrote this way back in 2009.
