Not useful? It's much more useful for exploration of tight spaces, in situations like rescue missions or inspection of various sites because it adapts to the width of the space, and because it doesn't roll or walk it would have much better traction. Fitted with a small CO2 sensor and a beacon, at the very least it could find survivors and signal for digging crews. Of course it's a different question whether you'd want to be found by something so gross.
