Russian Coffin Buries You with Panic Button

Ever since we saw The Serpent and the Rainbow as a little kid, we’ve had this unnatural fear of being buried alive. Well, a Russian inventor by the name of Vitaly Malyukov must have watched the same movie cause he’s designed a casket with a built-in panic button that lets you contact the living in case your quack of a doctor accidentally pronounced you dead. Pushing the panic button (which glows in the dark) alerts the cemetery caretaker who can then dig you back up (after they return from their lunch break, of course). So in the end you’ll wind up dead one way or another. No word on pricing or availability.
