And if the wall should buckle under the stresses of an earthquake the wall will most certainly give-way and come crashing down on the TV.

Earthquake is like a box of chocolates, you never know what magnitude you’re gonna get when one strikes!


I don’t know ask one of the contractors that do earthquake repair or study in the California state?

I was thinking of those thick suspension springs used on cars and balancing the TV on that might keep it from falling over, it might wobble bounce around a bit during an earthquake?

You should be more worried getting out of the house first saving your life which can’t be replaced then again most rare items can not be replaced as well.

It’s a rotten thing an earthquake, sure glad I don’t live there. Even the UK gets its rare now then share of an earthquake and I’d like to experience one firsthand.

I imagine after an earthquake you have to check the home to see if it’s structurally sound.
