Guaranteed not to die?
It's certainly uncomfortable, but a million bucks for a weekend of laying in a box is a pretty good deal.
I'd be more worried about the dehydration and bodily functions than about being underground, assuming I am guaranteed to live.
They bury you and come back 48hr later, so no guarantee.
If there's no guarantee you won't die, I'm not too keen on it. The breathing tube scenario and no water situation is highly sus. And laying immobile for that long of a time frame puts you at a crazy high risk of blood clots and a resulting fatal stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism. It's why people who are relatively immobilized in a hospital for any length of time are often given blood thinners. I'm pretty sure there have been cases of people dying playing video games too long without moving because of the resulting blood clots.
Happened to the girlfriend of the author of one of my skyrim mods. He created a character in her memory and posts a disclaimer to everyone warning about the danger of blood clots.
So sad to hear. Good that he spread awareness.
Yeah blood clots, rhabdomyolysis, kidney damage from dehydration, etc. You're guaranteed to sustain some amount of damage from this
Wow, that's awful. Not something I would have thought about happening.
I was in the hospital recently and had my legs attached to some automatic massagers (I forget the name) to help avoid blood clots. And I was only in bed for a day.
