Displace, a startup, has unveiled the Displace TV, a 55-inch 4K OLED wireless television that uses a nail-less, hole-less mounting system. The TV utilizes proprietary "active-loop vacuum technology" to securely adhere to walls without the need for tools. To address concerns about mount security, Displace has added safety features including wall-sensing algorithms, four adhesives for stability, and a zip line-based self-lowering landing gear system. If the mount is disrupted, the TV will detach from the wall and slowly zip line down to the floor, deploying foam feet and angling itself face-down. The TV can lower itself from as high as 10 feet and the safety features can activate in response to various types of damage.
A 6-year-old boy fell approximately 40 feet from a zip line at an adventure park in Monterrey, Mexico, after his harness broke. The incident was captured on video by his brother and shared online. Fortunately, the child survived after falling into a lake and was rescued by bystanders. The family criticized the park for its poor service, installation, and staff training, hoping that the incident will lead to improvements. The adventure park has not yet commented on the situation.
The family of a 6-year-old boy who fell 40 feet from a zip line in an amusement park in Mexico plans to sue the ride operator for poor training. This incident is the latest in a series of zip line injuries, including another 6-year-old who was strangled by the rope and a zip line guide who was hit by another rider. Experts advise checking equipment, reading waivers, and researching zip line companies to ensure safety.
