it is said that during an earthquake taking shelter in a door frame is the safest way to protect one's life MythBusters welded a steel frame measuring 4 M long and 3.3 M wide to create a seismic shaking table next Tori installed eight pillars using gas Springs with each spring generating a force of 44,000 Newtons simulating a powerful earthquake after completing the massive earthquake simulation table they built a brick house on it since there were no volunteers they used dummies instead Carri labeled each dummy a shock watchat and attached a vibration intensity sensor when the experiment began the house shook violently and windows and walls quickly collapsed however the wall around the door frame remained intact even after continuous shaking for 2 minutes therefore in older buildings taking shelter in a door frame is safe to test modern buildings they constructed a wooden house built to earthquake resistant standards the results showed that the house remained standing but only the dummy taking shelter under the table was safe
