Escape Route Number 2

You can easily mistake the Rapunzel for a canister, instead its an easy-to-use safety-descending device. Designed by SADI student Sin Sun Ho, this safety line can be used in highrise buildings. You more or less have to glide down the side of a wall (Batman style), holding onto its secure wrist capsule design.

Rapunzel is a 2010 Red Dot Concept Award Winning Entry.

Designer: Sin Sun Ho
