Technology like that is okay for the handicapped but the non handicapped. They can just walk down the stairways to get out of the building. Where I work the fire department has to help the handicapped out in the event of a real fire. And when we had the HVAC fire our 3 handicapped employees just stayed in the building out of the area the fire was in. The rest of us had to walk down the stairways to get out. And some of us mistakenly ran into the elevator.
@swakeri cause the ppl on the top floors are always the last to leave.....my high rise apartment caught on fire in the basement....I lived on 23rd.....took me 45 mins to get down...cause every time my floor made it to a lower level the door flew open and 30ppl came running out and down the stairs..and so many people say push them...push them where??? the whole damn building is n a staircase the size of a closet packed from lobby to top floor.
And another flaw i saw, there is only a certain number of containers, up to 5. That's fine for 5-8 floors, but what if there's 20? The fire could be in the middle of the building, and they would be waiting forever for the units to get to their floor. To manage the weight, there should be smaller pods, but 2 on the same side. Just a flaw i saw ;)
Its designed to be a last resort escape method, and one for disabled refuges... not main stream evacuations. All abled bodied people would take the stairs as usual.
I'm interested to see how much it costs to put in and maintain. If too expensive I don't see many building owners installing this clearly optional equipment. We put a price on safety, its sick but its true...
It's a novel idea, however, how yould beople know that those windows are the exit unless they are marked (not shown in vid). Most building like this would have a voice evacuation system delivering the instructions, and the occupants would be directed to the stairs, unless all of this is modified around this system.
well i notice that on the side of the building there is a strong metal strip behind those elevator and its hold the elevator in place so it dont shake in the wind or air.
If those are supposed to be used on high rises, it would have to be 100% absolutely strong. There are fast winds up there and it would be hell to be in one of those with it leanin' wit it and rockin' wit it.
*sigh* This is just a demostration of a new fire safety product. they're just showing how it could be used in high rise senarios. It's a good idea and if you didn't notice the fabric, it's the same type that people use to get close to lava from erupting volcanoes. It's very fire retardant.
i work in a high rise and i can just see the fights to escape... and what if the fire is on the same side as this elevator? does the building owner have to install one on each side of the building so they can evacuate on the non-fire side? well, at least someone's concerned about life safety
2 mins 22 secs is a long time to wait in a building that is actually burning. In this video, no debris is falling, and the system, which looks like it has more moving parts than most cars, luckily worked perfectly. I wouldn't count on it is a real fire.
So want to go on this

they should use this at wtc that way theres another way out if the evevator is down on the top floor
deafmonk19 5 years ago
Good system, But if the building is feeled with smoke the people will panic instantly, HUMAN NATURE.
They will not have a clue where to go, and then there will be even more panic.
Have a look at my companies video which would run along side this system brilliantly.
