A survival and rescue capsule for protecting an occupant encountering a natural crisis includes a body member having an ellipsoidal outer wall assembly that includes bottom and top wall sections and that accommodates a person. A ballast weight is positioned adjacent the bottom wall section to enhance upright stability of the body member. A seat is positioned in the interior area, the seat having a seat bottom and springs mounted beneath the seat bottom to cushion a person from impact forces. The wall assembly defines a main ventilation channel having a lower end in communication with ambient air outside the interior area and an upper end in communication with ambient air inside the interior area, the lower end being lower than the upper end relative to the top wall section of the wall assembly.
