Smart Ladder (Tom Walma)

Idea: To put electronics into ladders to tell you if it's safe to climb them and to call an ambulance if you fall off. Also: a built-in breathalyzer; rungs that fold down to prevent you from climbing up too high if the ladder determines it's unsafe; ladder add-on/extension devices such as stakes to stick into the dirt or "snake arms" on the top of the ladder to wrap around a tree branch or other support-providing object; speakers to warn you if the ladder is starting to become unstable and to play the song "It's Raining Men" if you fall off; discussing the scariness of using a ladder Stu McCallister (https://twitter.com/StuMcCallister Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/lmnopodcast) Kevin C (https://www.planetant.com/events/dingdongdead https://www.planetant.com/events?category=Planet+Ant+Farm+Team) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com https://twitter.com/thomaswalma) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetantpodcasts.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
