You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?

Edit: No food and water, no diaper, and no contact with the outside world. Once buried, they leave for 48hr and come back to dig you up. The coffin is only wide enough for you to lay on your back (no rolling around), and the inside is wood and not particularly comfortable. The only items you’re allowed to bring with you are life sustaining medication (e.g. an asthma inhaler). No knocking yourself out with pills or anxiety meds. The money is a briefcase full of cash.

    I think it’s more than that. Was an EMT for a long time and had to scoop up many an old timer who’d fallen and been unable to get up. Unfortunately it’s been a while and I’ve been bumped on the head once or twice, but I recall there being concern of issues like compartment syndrome that came from basically spending 10 or 12 hours on a floor unable to get up. I’m sure age and position have something to do with it, but I just don’t know if your body will come out the same on the other side. And now you’re spending that million on medical care if you’re like me and from America.
