Does This Work?
- arthry 8y agoI'd worry about the anchor part since there is a chance you can miscalculate the length and get stuck in mid-decent. Meanwhile, anchor could get more damage if not planned properly.
- bloak 8y agoHaving a "backpack" for each person is silly. The device should be attached to the wall next to the window, so it will be there when somebody needs it, and it should be possible for several people to use it, one after the other. (I have lived in a building that had such a device installed, though I don't remember exactly how it worked.)
- evochimp 8y agoIt uses a preinstalled anchor point which would not be something big, exposed to the elements. One can use multiple anchor points. It will be difficult to mount something or buckle up if it is hanging outside the window.
- bloak 8y agoThe one I saw in real life was installed inside, near the window. Apart from aesthetics, I can't see why you'd want to install it outside.
- PaulHoule 8y agoNo reason it shouldn't. Unless you are panicked and you don't properly attach the line before you jump that is.
