Has anyone heard, read or have opinions on this? http://www.amerrescue.org/newsletter/tol.htm I found this site a few days ago, while hopping from website to website during some idle time at the office.

Basically in a nutshell, American Rescue Team International (ARTI) recommends that to survive a building collapse, it is better to be beside large objects than under them. They say the duck and cover techniques I've been taught all these years are wrong. Essentially when an edifice collapses, the structure falls on the larger objects crushing them, leaving a void next to it. This is where most survivors are located in these type of situations. They call it the "triangle of life". To me it seems logical, but I haven't heard anyone discuss this anywhere outside of this ARTI group and wondered what the group here thought. They are estimating that the survival rate of a collapse would be somewhere around 95%.

There is also a video of this demonstrated -> www.amerrescue.org/video/item12.rm

What ye think? Another nugget of knowledge?
