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.

Yeah that’s what i call super cool design!
I agree, more appropriate for commercial application vs general public.
However, I like the cable spool inclusive in the moving part. If it’s legitimately feasible to have the strength and cable length in something that small, this location would prevent abrasion of the cable when it wraps over an edge of the window as well as allow the user to control the descent speed.

It will be those who purchase it for recreational use who will pay for the development of better ones.
Seriously, they should consider making “fun” version for the thrill-seekers. Then they can use the profits to improve on the “escape” version for everyone’s use.
Works wonderful and distinctive thanks to good work
