Let’s say you are trapped in a coffin before you have even breathed your last breath. Sounds pretty scary, right? Well, have you ever thought how long you can survive here?

Bride Let’s see what will happen to you in such a scenario.
When a healthy person goes under the coffin, they can survive between 10 minutes and 36 hours.
In fact, the survival time depends on the amount of air inside the coffin. The less weight and height you have, the more advantageous you are. Because you take up less space inside the coffin, which means there will be more space for oxygen inside.
Swimmers and marathon runners with advanced lung capacity have a slightly more advantageous advantage. Them, They can gain a few extra minutes by holding their breath.
Let’s do a simple calculation.
Let’s say a coffin measures 213 x 71 x 58 cm and has a total volume of 886 liters. The average volume of the human body is 66 liters. 820 liters of air remain and 164 liters of it is oxygen.
Considering that a person consumes 0.5 liters of oxygen per minute, It will take almost 5 and a half hours for all the oxygen in the coffin to be exhausted. However, this calculation is of course an estimate.
As we just mentioned, all these calculations depending on the person’s height and weight as well as the size of the coffin varies depending on.
