Most Dangerous Object in the Office: The Rocket-Propelled Ikaros Line Thrower

 

When we’re stuck in a meeting, we usually text a savior to call us come in of the room. But ever since this $599 maritime rescue device came in, we’ve been dreaming most zip-lining out the window. The 8.8-pound waterproof canister uses solid rocket fuel to dart a safety line almost 1,000 feet. To operate, simply commit the safety pin (it’s a rope grenade!), stand-in against your thigh to cushion the recoil (try not to worry about that half pound of rocket fuel going finish up near your junk), and pull the trigger. The 4-mm nylon rope can hold up to 450 pounds of waterlogged shipwreck survivors. Warning: If you do use this to adhesiveness out of a meeting, your exit may not go unnoticed.
