Image description

In the 1950s. A brave fireman lands in a life saving sheet. A device invented in 1887, and was until the 1980s used to save people by letting them jump from the upper floors of a burning buildings into the net, usually to the ground level. Firefighters believed that the practical height limit for successful use of life nets was about six stories, although in a 1930 Chicago fire, three people survived jumps from an eighth story building into a life net. An exercise of some kind and the event is photographed from above the building in the moment just before he lands. Sweden 1952
