Great sift, love the title!

New York (and other major metropolitan area) skyscrapers could be connected by a network of waterslides that allowed quick access up or down Manhattan. Office attire may need to be rethought, and perhaps in winter it would be more of a luge, but same idea.
Need to go uptown but can't afford the taxi, change into your trunks and onto the uptown express tube slide you go!
Colombian kids have it made!
"Wow!! It works both ways!!"1
rotflmao@many comments.
one of the best-commented videos on the sift, i'd award an extra point for that!!
especially somegeek's comment, rotfl.
btw *documentary, right?
1: not sure about correctness of the line, I played it in italian (and that was even better since it said something like "It works both ways! What a chicken!")
Anyways as mentioned before, it would be nice if someone could splurge and atleast purchase or donate proper harnesses to these people.
this is... nice. I mean, it's so peculiar, and if they are ok with it...
well, maybe they aren't ok with it, I don't know. But innovations are not automatically a good thing.
and I think that any medical emergency wouldn't be solved by simply having a monorail or something, it would need the helicopters anyway.
Mountains are high, let's say, 2500m, and 2000m.
You start a rope at 1900m, that goes to the other mountain down to 1850m. Then in the other mountain another rope that starts at 1850m, that goes down to the first mountain at 1800m. Or you can use the rubber chicken, of course.
Where's the problem?
Anyway, that looks fun. I hate that damn dramatic scare-music they play in the background.
