Are the Chinese Health & Safety Inspectorate overly optimistic about the reserves of self-discipline the residents of Shanghai can call upon? Or are we in the West just trapped in a state of perpetual adolescence? Because I know for a fact that if high rise buildings in the UK/US started fitting this handy ‘evacuation slide’, which can be “attached to the banister of a building’s staircase, and, in emergencies, deployed with the simple push of a button”, everyone but the elderly, infirm and/or existentially angst ridden would be pressing that damn button with gusto and sliding on down those stairs every single time they had a justifiable reason to descend. And then running like hell back up the stairs to have another go.

Wait. Did the Chinese just solve the obesity crisis?

A user comment on the above story. Can you hear that whirring noise? That’s Emily Pankhurst, spinning in her grave.
