I liked that too. They are so light weight and portable that they could even be used on ocean front condo balconies. People just amaze me with their ideas. Necessity IS the mother of invention.
Unfortunately, the Noax walls are crazy expensive. Like 200 to 300 dollars per section. They'll be more useful when they get them below 100 per section.
Bringing wheelchair users up to standing level is such a boost in minimizing the handicap of being in a wheelchair. Pun unintended but I'm leaving it in.
I don’t expect to see most of these great inventions personally, but if I’m ever in a tight situation where one of these could save me I’ll be forever indebted to the inventor🙏🙂
May i just say to the inventors of these amazing technologies, may God bless them because they invested time, effort and a lot of developing to make the world a better place! These technologies will save lives, and the other tech i have seen before, and the other tech i have not yet seen before... God sees it all, and He will bless them❤ a positive hello from South Africa... I love inspiring creativity like this, maybe one day i will invent something like this too! 🎉
I have often thought that if I were an inventor I would make some kind of personal parachute to have near every high rise window. Looks like they've finally done it.
The only problem with the parachute is it saves the first person, anyone else is left behind. The fire resistant slide seemed better, and other companies have already created similar items.
I LOVE that slide beside the stairs. I needed that when I worked in the courthouse up on the 16th floor and any time any alarm went off we had to walk down all of those stairs and my knees and my ankles are damaged because of that. PLEASE PASS THAT IDEA ON STATE TO STATE. COUNTRY TO COUNTRY. I’m retired now but I still care about those that have to do those stairs two and three times a week. ALL OF THESE IDEAS ARE OUTSTANDING.
It appeared the guy going down the slide had a little bit of a challenge to continue moving once he got to the bottom of a floor. That may prove even more challenging for an elderly or physically challenged person.
Very cool, but I wonder how many would be able to actually afford some of these devices. Especially that wheelchair. It looks amazing, but I feel like it’d be extremely expensive, and that insurance companies would not cover them.
@@grondhero That’s right. It came to me…..why don’t we have innovation? It’s because we are waiting for insurance to cover it. With the internet we can find the best price. Comparison is key. Things can be re-sold, doesn’t automatically lose value. We are blocking innovation by waiting for insurance to cover. Alexa…move my chair up to bed height. Dream on….insurance doesn’t cover it.
@@grondhero ok ,I can see your not getting the point here , yes I can look them up now because I saw the video . Before I watched the video , these amazing inventions were not on my radar , I am wondering why ! If only I was as smart as you ,I would be ok .
In the 1920s, Stadiun High school in Tacoma, Washington had escape slides. I remember my father telling me how much noise a metal chair made when thrown down the slide.
My Dad and his "gang" sanded the slide and waited for the pileup during the next fire drill. They got whooped. My dad was a terrorist in 1930's South Dakota.
Not much else to do in South Dakota in the 30s. My mom and dad spent the 30s in rural Minnesota and the mountains of Montana. I know Boulder, Montana was pretty tame but Dad saw a lot of movies. I imagine he was quite popular among the handfull of girls in his class. Every boy in the class was on the basketball team it was so tiny. Dad had great stories. Mom talked about how mean geese were and how her sweater caught fire at a bonfire. And the dog died because of the salt content in the well water. Dad's stories were great! And he had photos.
The inflatable for high rise buildings in the best. Every high rise building should buy these and sell/give it to those living and working there. Hope they commercialize it soon.
A friend of mine is firefighter, and he often points out that it can be life-threatening to use the stairwell in a burning house, because just three breaths of smoke can be fatal. And that it is often better to wait until the firefighters come with a breathing mask and guide you out of your apartment safely.
F-k that! If my apartment has 100 people in it, do you _really_ think I'm waiting my turn for a fireman? 😆 Smoke rises, the stairwell is going _downstairs._ Every fire training exercise is get low and escape, not sit around and wait. Tie a cloth (t-shirt) over your face and GTFO.
That escape slide looks like it will be tempting for kids to activate! WOW, what fun! They didn't say how much trouble it is to retract the slide after it is used.
You would get stuck and everyone behind you would also. By then it's too late. Maybe for old people but who is gunna stick around and make sure they slide down correctly . I ain't waitin at the bottom for them haha.
Some great ideas. I really like the red lifeboats. My only concern would be speed. That white “shoot” attached to the building didn’t seem like a good idea, because one, the young lady was wearing gloves. Two, the material isn’t stiff or hard enough to allow speed.
Old man's invention will save my life? Only if I ever get caught in a high-rise building where there is a threatening fire and one of these slides happens to be installed. And hopefully there are not 200 or so other people trying to use it at the same time! Maybe a better description for your video would be "Old man's invention may save your life"
You need a nap. Or a lollipop. Ain't it awful when your brain automatically goes to worse case scenario? My brain does the exact same thing. Because you and I have foresight. A full 1/3 or more of Americans have no capacity for foresight.
Like the slide idea, as a 73 yr. old with bad knees. Suggestion: put the slide on the outside of the staircase instead of the inside. That way people who prefer to walk and use the handrail can still be accommodated (some elderly folks cannot use that slide; hip-break danger), and the turns would also be less severe. Or, if there were offices that needed to be accessed on the outside of the stairway at different tiers, handrails could be installed on the outside walls to allow ease of use of the steps and ease of entry into offices. Loved the rollers idea as opposed to just a slide. (Waterslide, anyone?) My elderly cousin from Colorado invented/patented the airport baggage delivery system of the snaking conveyor belt used at every airport anywhere. He'd have loved this slide idea!
@@grondheroDerp, it is their only current INCOME however and is an easy way to say they are on a fixed income and want details of it's affordability you wanna be internet financial advisor.
@@katharineshade9550 it’s actually older than the video presents and the one device that’s like the most nowadays is the Lucas device. But when I saw it in action on a patient it compresses the chest circumferentially and it was a bit of shock. It’s downside was you had to have positioned correctly for it to work. The thing to keep in mind is that cpr is tressed more today than when I started. When I starte it was drugs and shocks not it’s compressions. So learn cpr.
¡Muchas gracias por el vídeo! Los inventos del anciano son realmente sorprendentes y creativos. 🛠👍 Estoy muy impresionado con la artesanía de los dispositivos. ¿Todos estos inventos utilizan maquinaria moderna para mejorar el rendimiento? 🤔
I love that idea for tall buildings. I can see the advantage also for those with mobility problems, that would certainly help and save lives. I would be tempted, as would children to use it as a recreational slide but maybe that wouldn’t matter.
People who design mobility equipment don't ever seem to have even spoken to a disabled person. This is only useful for a very limited group of users. So it would never be produced in enough numbers to make it anywhere near cost effective. Bearing in mind a similar power chair suitable for far more users due to the spinal support costs 10k.
The slide seems nice, but there are two problems with it: 1) Just watching the video you can see it halts the user at every turn - pile ups are going to happen, injuries incoming. 2) Firefighters use the inside of the stairwells - everyone keeps to the right/outside when going down. - How are firefighters going to get up if some people are sliding and others are using the stairs?
Wow, how incredibly creative! The car blanket that puts out the fire! That water vessel that flips back up the right way. The CPR machine is amazing! Doing cpr Is exhausting. A device that throws a line out, that’s ingenious! We need house and yard fire retardant blankets. Love that backpack parachute device for escaping a high-rise.
Bless those who's (whose? I'm an artist, forgive me. Don't do math, either) brains get a tickle and won't rest until that tickle becomes a finished, functional product. Innovation can save the planet.
EVERY STUPID fire department is FULL of CLOWNS who’d RATHER play with their hoses for 30 MINUTES rather than drop a fireproof TARP over a car or Dumpster fire, and put it OUT in 60 SECONDS!!!
Узкий оставшийся проход на лестнице и затор на этом желобе - самое верное решение, чтобы получить огромное количество людей со сломанными ногами, руками и другими ранениями. Успехов тем, кому пришло в голову это рекомендовать !
@@XanderGurkin What is "the another method?" 🤔 Aside from using the stairs, there isn't one and you aren't offering one. It's easy to complain; it takes effort to create a solution.
Oh the electric vehicle tarp would have been helpful at my old job at FCA. Had two different electric vehicles catch fire between huge buildings that definitely did damage.
If my son & daughter were still little I’d invest in the wrist lifesaver. The other day I watched a YT video where a lifeguard was racing through the water to save a child who was drowning quietly. There were lots of people within 3 feet of the child and they were completely oblivious. Had the lifeguard not spotted the little girl she would have drowned. Had this child had this device she could have saved herself.
