I think this is a good idea for window cleaners of corporate buildings.

Those guys that got stuck recently all over the news. If they had these with them they could have just climbed down.
 
i think those researchers ought to have consulted with a professor of biokinematics.

is it just me or does that look like a very inefficient way to climb?

Just climbed down? As a person with a fear of heights I think would have just held onto the rail until it collapsed. Of course, these guys did not or else they would not have taken the job.
