Kuwaiti innovator Adel Al-Wusais has developed a safety belt that is easy to wear and use from all age groups when fires occur in high-rise buildings and towers.This helps save lives by breaking toughened window glass and using it to go down the building safely without having to wait for rescue teams.
The seatbelt consists of three parts: the first allows breaking the tempered glass used in the facades of the high towers or in the windows, and the second is located in the middle, a hydraulic belt that can be controlled and lowered gradually, with the possibility of placing another belt on this belt to fasten a small child. Pull the device after descending for someone else to use to save himself, and the third part offers the possibility to easily tie a rope into a pillar or anything that bears weight.
“The idea of innovation stemmed from a family accident that happened to me, which made me think not to repeat with others,” he said. A better way to save lives in tall towers, to be able to save himself without waiting for his rescue from others. "My idea is that this device will be available in every house like a fire extinguisher."
"The goal of innovation is to save lives as quickly as possible, especially in places where firefighters are not easily accessible, and enhance safety measures in hospitals and buildings."
The creator of the safety belt he developed at the Sabah Al Ahmad Center for Talent and Innovation won the gold medal in the category of inventions of devices at the International Exhibition of Inventions, Innovations and Technologies (ITEX), Malaysia.
Adel Abdulmohsen Al-Wusais, a telecommunications and electronics engineer, works for the Ministry of Electricity and Water and holds four patents.
