With a waterbed, they say that if the floor is strong enough for a refridgerator, it's ok because of the "spread". I think that a safe is a little different. Mine has a FP of 28"*30", and weighs 500 pounds empty. When I first got it, I figured if three of my fata$$ friends could stand where I wanted to put it, it would be ok. Now, there's 200 pounds of ammo in it, almost as many guns, and a buncha other crap. Looks like it's pushing a half ton, not to mention my own weight when I'm gazing inside of it (ok, drooling). Not so sure anymore, but nobody lives underneath it, either.
