Some protection is better than none. At least you have someone to sue if it fails.
We are planing on pouring 24" of concrete underneath it. It is secured by 7/8" bolts and anchors every few inches. I too have struggled with the underground thing, I do believe that is the safest place to be. The problem in our area is the soil. We have red clay which holds water like a jug. It also shifts, contracts, and expands as the moisture content changes over the seasons. This shifting burst seams on a lot of underground structures causing leaks and water infiltration. If it's full of water you can't use it, not to mention mold issues if it is inside your home.
