Now what if this was used in the twin towers. No hatred or jokes but this would have saved so many lives.

[@AMC-eq3jr]

They could have used airbags to catch the jumpers.

[@thevirtualvulture2977]

@@AMC-eq3jrno they couldn’t

[@Thefox0922]

I’m not sure if it would work 110 stories up with a raging fire part way down

[@AMC-eq3jr]

@@thevirtualvulture2977 Wrong.

[@dangerousafricanman]

​@@AMC-eq3jryour wrong you can't jump on an airbag from that high up

[@ramdas363]

This is really cool. In China I've never seen anything like it, the high rise buildings are a death trap in case of fire.

[@Chris-Christopher-]

A real high rise would need something a lot longer than these. I'm not sure how well these would scale to higher heights. One issue that would need to be addressed is its stability from its own weight and also from the higher winds it would likely experience at heights. The corridors around large numbers of tall buildings have strong winds in them. The other issue would be their limited capacity. If it's a very densely populated building with many floors, then a lot of people who need to be rescued, then how many of those can realistically be deployed on every floor that needs it? I'm sure there might be some good solutions to those concerns, but I'm also sure there are other issues I'm not smart enough to think about.

[@oatmealtheecat8188]

Imagine you have to use this and this was your only option but you weigh 331 lbs

[@pickford7812]

Heart disease would catch up pretty quickly anyways

[@ramdas363]

Not suitable for Americans, haha.

[@gardensofthegods]

1 lb might not make a difference but maybe 20 or 30 would make a big difference .

[@makcferon]

gotta cut off a limb

[@tampajoeyz230]

@@ramdas363 True. But, many snaggle toothed Europeans might shred the thing up with their teeth.

For anyone having questions, I would like to think of it as a spiral slide.

[@Vinodproject]

Amazing idea.. an idea can change many lives

[@junesondrab3833]

I like the Net Drones for high-rise fires.

[@sacarchy]

Are these cloths fire proof because if they are.not they may catch fire and ruin the whole purpose

[@hi-ej8em]

They are

[@Zac_Airsoft12]

How does it slow you down?? By turning? But then how would it turn you??

[@bovinicusdivinicus]

Your crossed feet turn you. It slows you down by closing above you which basically creates a vaccum negative pressure above. This creates a "sucking" from above which slows you down. Like taking a syringe without a needle and putting your finger over the end. Imagine you are the plunger inside the tube. As you pull it creates vacuum

[@bovinicusdivinicus]

For very tall buildings just have a multi slide system where the higher ones go to a platform with another slide. Going down a hundred feet or so per stage. Ten floors at a time.

[@TimeKerala]

what about if building fire emergency

[@tron.44]

What do you think this is for?

[@cyberspelunker1980]

It looks so vertical. How do you keep from falling straight down?

[@brettjc0483]

It spins you?

[@stephenfennell]

There is some sort of arrrangement inside (a cloth sewn inside in a helical shape, I think) that makes you rotate as you descend. This means you are following a longer path than straight down, so you take longer to reach the bottom. It has the same effect as if you were sliding down a slope such as a zip wire. No doubt the friction of the fabrics slows you down too.

[@jcs3330]

This should be part of the building standard regulation in all buildings and 'home' above a certain height. If not the planning of any building should not be given - Period!.

[@Toddg1234Mr]

Can one be designed to climb back up like a ladder?

[@adelaluz]

the idea. is to evacuate the buikding the fastest. way possible, the first responders would have. any other ways to climb

[@jshepard152]

You don't evacuate up.

[@wothappen82]

Imagine you slide down from 100th floor from skyscraper building, it look like roller coaster. I think abseiling is the best way.

[@bovinicusdivinicus]

Not many have the brass spheres to allow themself to go off the edge of a building face down or otherwise.

[@jbstepchild]

This makes no sense to me who on the ground will know what to do are these in every area or only one location what happens if fires there lots of questions

[@me-ow7018]

Where to buy ????

[@0311catholic]

What?? Do you own a skyscraper lol

[@jay-fh6wp]

Oh cool

[@Amir22022]

Wow Amazing 🤩

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

What if you got a small child or a dog I guess you can hold that dog and go down that sleeve but there's other stuff I've seen will you couldn't hold the dog you know like that one where you got to walk down a rope and then The Spar system you could hold a dog parachute

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

Well yeah everybody's afraid of fucking falling that new parachute thing Spa that looks a bit safer to me

[@vapelandvn]

Only for small building, can't use for skyscraper

[@mrShinglez]

I was hoping to see fishhead splatter

[@abraham8178]

When many use this, there won't be any space

I so need this 😂

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Good. I had to jump off the third storey window when I was 11, because there was a small fire in the house.

[@elliot20]

if it was a small fire in a big house, why did you jump out

[@oatmealtheecat8188]

@@elliot20 maybe the fire blocked one of the doors and he couldn’t escape through the doors

This would get you dizzy after spinning you 50+ times.

Better than being burned alive right?

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

330lbs is not enough what if 2 or 3 people need to use it at the same time.

[@Chris-Christopher-]

Obvious capacity concerns even if there are multiple systems around a building.

What about a fatty boom boom??!!

This wouldn’t work in the west. Obesity is far too common.
