The US-based Atlas Devices has developed a tool that enables "reverse rappelling" up buildings and other vertical surfaces at high speeds. Their “Rope Ascender” device, which uses Atlas’ patented rope interaction design, can pull a fully-loaded soldier or firefighter up a rappelling line at up to 10 ft/sec, as well as tow vehicles and even remotely move equipment and casualties. While this product is not yet commercially available, the company says that once shipped it could provide new advantages in urban warfare, rescue operations, industrial access, and more. |
