If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be around during an earthquake but don't want to go through the actual danger of being caught in one, there's a fancy new truck touring Japan that'll give you the experience with a much lower chance of you ending up underneath a fallen building. The truck features a small room that shakes in an approximation of a real earthquake, showing people just what to expect in that earthquake-prone country.

As you can see from the video above, the setup looks like a mix between a sweet emergency-preparedness device and a pretty mediocre amusement park ride. But hey, if once you take a ride in it you'll know what to do during the real thing, it's probably worth it, right?
