History Fact

People were buried alive so often, that bells were attached to their coffins.

Due to medicine not being so great, comatose people were sometimes mistakenly buried alive.

In order to counteract these potential blunders, people were buried with little bells above ground. These bells were attached to a string, which went into the coffin.

If the person was buried alive, and later woke up they would tug on the string that would ring the bell above ground.

Someone would hear it and then dig the person out of their premature resting place.
