A plastic container having a first portion, a second portion, and a waist between the first portion and the second portion. The waist includes a first angled portion coupled to the first portion, a second angled portion coupled to the second portion, and a curved portion connecting the first angled portion to the second angled portion for forming a deformable region for preventing a catastrophic failure of the waist when the plastic container is filled and capped and subjected to an external force.

What is claimed is: 1. A plastic container; comprising: a first portion; a second portion; a waist between said first portion and said second portion, said waist comprising a first angled portion coupled to said first portion, a second angled portion coupled to said second portion, and a curved por
What is claimed is: 1. A plastic container; comprising: a first portion; a second portion; a waist between said first portion and said second portion, said waist comprising a first angled portion coupled to said first portion, a second angled portion coupled to said second portion, and a curved portion connecting said first angled portion to said second angled portion for forming a deformable region for preventing a catastrophic failure of said waist when the plastic container is filled and capped and subjected to an external force, wherein an innermost portion of said curved portion defines a longitudinal axis; wherein a first radial distance taken from the longitudinal axis to an exterior point where said first angled portion couples to said first portion is less than a second radial distance taken from the longitudinal axis to an exterior point where said second angled portion couples to said second portion; and wherein the ratio of the first radial distance to the second radial distance is between 0.0 and 0.5. 2. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein, to prevent a catastrophic failure of said waist, said deformable region controllably deforms in response to the external force, an internal pressure of the container increases radially, and a net vertical force is produced on a non-vertical surface of the container. 3. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein said second portion comprises a body of the container, a bumper coupled to an upper portion of the body and a base coupled to a bottom portion of the body, and wherein said second angled portion of said waist extends from said bumper at an angle and the angle reduces when the container is subjected to the external force. 4. The plastic container according to claim 3, wherein said second portion is a lower portion of the container. 5. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein said first portion comprises a dome having a vertical wall. 6. The plastic container according to claim 5, wherein said first portion is an upper portion of the container. 7. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein the first angled portion has a first length and the second angled portion has a second length and further wherein the second length is between 0.25 to 2.00 inches. 8. The plastic container according to claim 7, wherein the second length is approximately 0.55 inches. 9. The plastic container according to claim 7, wherein the first length of the first angled portion is between 0.00 to 1.75 inches. 10. The plastic container according to claim 9, wherein the first length is approximately 0.15 inches. 11. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein when the plastic container is subjected to an external force, said innermost portion of said curved portion displaces axially along the longitudinal axis. 12. The plastic container according to claim 11, wherein when said innermost portion of said curved portion displaces axially along the longitudinal axis, said second angled portion deforms. 13. The plastic container according to claim 3, wherein the angle at which said second angled portion of said waist extends fern said bumper is between 90�� and 135��. 14. The plastic container according to claim 13, wherein the angle at which said second angled portion of said waist extends horn said bumper is approximately 117��. 15. The plastic container according to claim 13, wherein during toploading of the container the angle at which said second angled portion of said waist extends hem said bumper is between 45�� and 134��. 16. The plastic container according to claim 15, wherein during toploading of the container the angle at which said second angled portion of said waist extends from said bumper is approximately 90��. 17. The plastic container according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of the first radial distance to the second radial distance is 0.375.
