  • how much?

    cpt747 3 years ago

  • Pretty cool. How would you set up a belay system? I could see it being used for rescue work and with bridges and such.

    frogspore 3 years ago

  • I wonder what the OSHA regulation on using this for tower work would be. As far as it falling apart I would imagine that the only way to safely use this device would be to have a separate safety back up line. Either way I want one. This would make my job so much easier.

  • Can you say L-A-Z-Y?

    jarlok 5 years ago

  • Go to the website & you'll see some of the applications. It's not intended for rock climbing.

    RasmusSE 5 years ago

  • hahah that's for people who belong on the couch eating chips. I don't see the point.. once you get to the top you cant even get off of the rope. ahha

    Johnny10 5 years ago

  • lol is it a useless invention?? think about the devices they use to hoist people from burning buildings. And yet there is no point waiting for an answer since it will probably be immature anyway.

    Aggy07 5 years ago

  • Batman's much better. This one's too bulky~

    dun4ukwitmebiach 5 years ago

  • i'm gonna get one of these for my house. It is SO much more space efficient than a staircase.

    sumo2828 5 years ago

    hand winch is more compact. =P

    hafgrim4uo 5 years ago

  • For actual rock climbing its useless... but for the military and other work related stuff im sure a purpose could be found

    ttandizzle112 5 years ago

  • thats like an escalator in front of a gym.

    ShaneM686 5 years ago

    Dantinus 5 years ago

  • stupid..i can go like 2 times that speed going down...with out that stupid thing..i think its a stupid idea...IMO

    mole40 5 years ago

  • I'm betting you can go even faster down without the rope. :)

    sephrix 5 years ago

  • Yet another way for man to become for fat then he already is...

    btw anyone find it ironic that they're using it at the fitness center?

    fIagg 5 years ago

  • well that certainly takes the challenge and purpose out of rock climbing

    placebo525 5 years ago

  • Hmm, make that about 3 times faster/smaller/lighter and a grapple launcher, then you would have the Batman thing.

    PeregrinusFalco 5 years ago

  • Wel you still have to clime the old fashion way before using that machine

    djowowi 5 years ago

  • id like to see these guys use this device without a saftey rope belay...then id think it were trustworthy...you cant have a promotional video where the testers dont even trust the device

    jmedmon 5 years ago

  • You're an idiot. It's not about trust. No-one trusts electronics. Would you climb a cliff without a safety rope and just one of these? It only takes a mechanical failure and you're screwed. *sigh* idiots

    deancuk 5 years ago

  • but then what is the point of this product? if ur gonna have someone belay you anyways its basically a waste of money..

    jmedmon 5 years ago

  • That is like questioning the point of a life support machine. It's there to help, but of course it can go wrong like any other mechanical product.

    deancuk 5 years ago

  • Batman's was way cooler!

    pjdude 5 years ago

  • ... is this supposed to be something?

    enq2040 5 years ago

  • its an acender, go rock climbing and you'll see

    Kevinhamilton905 5 years ago

  • Our military will only get better with this kind of gear. I'd hate to be the enemy.

    zecnobot 5 years ago

  • Dude, get a grip. Everything the US does is for the military!? What are you, stupid? And who the hell is the "enemy"? You're always fighting off this enemy that you can't see. Nevermind, I don't want to screw this post over, this is a device that will supposedly help firefighters climb buildings a lot faster to rescue people. THAT zecnobot is a useful application.

    awakenedias 5 years ago

  • You've got issues. I'll let you, you, and you deal with them together.

    zecnobot 5 years ago

  • Wow, attempt of humor instead of a real answer. I'm stunned.

    awakenedias 5 years ago

  • You already screwed this post over. And a lot of tech stuff or stuff like this are made for the military first. Like GPS. So he is right, although you are right too. Oh well, why would you even care if he thinks it is good for the military?

    EZdick1234 5 years ago

  • Yea, I would hate to be the poor defenseless innocent person too.

    martic1280 5 years ago

  • ..maybe "the enemy" has seen this video and bought a wire cutter, in addition to the buckets of boiling water.
