Thats pretty scary, I also am a mild taphephobic but knowing that it doesn't take long before you run out of oxygen and asphyxiate comforts me somewhat :).

Glass coffins have been the idea bandied about to prevent being buried alive. Remains to be seen.

I want a victorian bell above ground so if i am buried alive i can ring it and be saved!

Knowing my luck i will be ringing it like mad when bell ringing practice is underway and will just blend in with the general clanging.

I always thought taphephobia was a fear of the Welsh.;)

Bell practice is an important part of scottish culture, it would be unfortunate if someone died prematurely due to this seemingly harmless tradition.

a Tibetan sky burial would be the best way to avoid premature burial

we've got the hills but we'd would need to replace the vultures with scorries ...
