Are these nets deaigned for accidental falls? Because I bet you I could jump farther than they extend.
Tragically, I think they only aim to be "do it somewhere else" nets. Because they introduce the threat of getting caught or partially caught and having to live with the embarrassment or wounds, respectively.
I believe they are required for worker dorms in China, news communities on ML or any building over 4 floors with windows in Russia. But yeah.. um.. totally for "accidental falls".
I would have thought Russia would have been dead against accidental fall net. It increases the likelihood that Putin would actually have to compete in an election.
Yeah he would have to accidentally tamper with the nets so they accidentally fail. Seems like a lot of extra work.
The corrupt contractors that install them ensure they won’t work, no tampering required.
Construction was probably contracted out to the same company that built the thousands of T-14 tanks we see operating in Ukraine.
Keep buying those iPhones people! Their supply chains have nets like these too.
I'd call them 10' wide, but let's say 8'. I'm looking at the 8' x 10' area rug under me and I couldn't jump either axis of the thing, even with a running jump. And no way in hell from a window.
