    Sike, it’s cutting wire. Anyone who falls ends up cubed like that Resident Evil scene.

    Wow, my brain had a tough time processing that image. Turn it about 20 degrees counter clockwise and it looked like a hallway with several red carts with netting blocking the way. I literally thought the morgue was at the other end.

    Unfortunately it’s necessary in a place where people regularly receive life changing or ending news.

      It’s the first hospital where I’ve seen something like this, though.

      I can just guess that there must have been some kind of incident at that place that triggered the installation of the safety nets.

        Sure and the incident was a suicide, no question about it.

        Former girlfriend of mine had a patient jump out of a window after his late stage cancer diagnose.

          Thats why assisted death/suicide should be more legalized and talked about. I mean in such a case, the case is pretty simple. In such a case, they need a second doctor from outside to confirm the diagnosis, get a notary or some kind to confirm that this is the wish of the patient and they got all the necessary information. I guess in a week they should have the clearance.

          This way someone can leave the world on their terms, without pain or traumatizing or hurting bystanders.

    This means that someone jumped, the family sued, and your local nonprofit hospital had to spend money it didn’t have.

      Very american point of view. My first thought was “oh dam, someone in a disturbed mental state (tbh I thought suicidal) attempted to jump/jumped and the hospital wants to make sure no one else hurts themselves that way! That’s good care!” But we can also look through the extremely negative POV of no one does anything good ever unless there’s money on the line, right?
