Since de Middle Ages, the fear of being burried alive besets the conscience of many countries in Europe. From its humanistic and philantropical perspective, the XVIII century, yearned by such a misfortune, faced this extremely difficult problem. Initiated in The Netherlands, a large movement of solidarity towards the victims of accidents such as drowned or suffocated people, spread all over Europe. Desperate efforts were made to uphold the victims alive that contributed to successfully rescue a huge number of human beings.
