X-Net Non-Lethal Vehicle Arrest System

while I don't doubt it'll stop a little car like that, the driver doesn't even look like he is trying.

An excellent invention and I think one day it will be really successful, one thing, is it re-usable or do the tires shred the net as the car locks up the wheels?

[AndyBRGN]

The police in my town Bergen, in Norway, wants to try this out. Just read about this in the news, which led me to this video. This looks genius, and I'm looking forward to see the first "fish" caught in the net!

UK Police are already using these but I haven't seen them in action yet.

I saw this demonstration in person a few years back and it works as shown. The demo was at 55 MPH with a crash cage equipped vehicle. The Impala stopped within 50 yards but almost slid sideways the last 20 yards.

[evanrugby]

the main reason they created this was because so many cars have run-flats and other alternatives now-a-days

[paparoach585]

yup, and it can stop vehicles 10,000 GVW+

We love your video. Thats why we featured it today on POPTUB. Stop by our channel and check it out!

What if the vehicle is rear traction?

[DumKopfNZ]

It would still wrap around the front wheels and prevent them from moving, so you'd end up doing burnouts and not moving too far.

[princepersia1]

What if you had a 1500Nm supercharged V8?

[themunster]

@princepersia1 you'd probably cook your clutch or break something in the transmission. the amount of torque required to break the net when its wrapped around the tyre like that is monumental.

[hectorgodinez]

@princepersia1 Doesn't matter, it wrappes around the axle and lower engine, not just the tires. It was designed for the United States military to stop suicide car bombs into running into bases.

[anonymousencounter3]

my dads work invented that

[DumKopfNZ]

it's pretty awesome. Pity it hasn't been adopted around the world yet. Time will tell!

[Zildjian285]

The U.S military are using it as well as UK police (it was made by a British company).

[hectorgodinez]

@DumKopfNZ Because it costs $9,000 and it's a one time use.

[philiphuynh]

@DumKopfNZ yeah... haven't even heard of the xnet until now.. and I thought it was something new well balls

[paparoach585]

really?

[rockhopper123452]

@anonymousencounter3 yea right

[NickEMT]
