				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Rapunzel_red_dot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8994" title="Rapunzel_red_dot" src="http://helablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Rapunzel_red_dot.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="320" /></a>From the mind of Sin Sun Ho, an avid Marvel Comics reader, comes  the Rapunzel descending device that helps people trapped on a high level of a building to safely reach the ground floor.</p>
<p>If you live or work in a high-rise building, the thought of being stuck on the 10<sup>th</sup> floor while the building slowly singes and burns everything around you, is a frightening scenario.  The numbers show that casualties arising from being stuck in on a high floor in a building increases every year.</p>
<p>However, unlike Spider Man the Rapunzel is pre-installed and cumulated in multiples in a storage box that is fixed to the building.</p>
<p>The soon to be victim reaches into the box and grabs the handle of a <em>Rapunzel</em> unit. A soft strap fastens on the wrist to prevent the unit from becoming separated from the hand or in the case of a larger human, the hand separated from the device.</p>
<p>Applied weight activates the Rapunzel and the rope uncoils bringing the user to the safety of ground.</p>
<p>The Rapunzel is a <a href="http://red-dot.sg/" target="_blank">Red Dot</a> winner of best of the best.</p>
