why are doorways the safest place to stand in an earthquake?
In: Engineering
They’re not, there’s a notion that a door way would be reinforced in some way. That’s not typically the case though, the best practice is still to get under a sturdy table or desk or the like. Or you could try to get next to a large solid object and make a little safety triangle where of anything large falls the thing like a bed you’re next too could prevent if from falling directly on you.
