Real Life Batman Utility Belt Helps You Climb Up, Fast. - Neatorama

MIT graduate student Nathan Bell created a battery-powered rope ascender, just like Batman's utility belt! The belt can lift 250 pounds 50 feet up a rope in just five seconds.

Hit play to see the belt in action or go to Link [YouTube] | Atlas Devices website - via Gizmodo, Thanks Henry@Brohans!

"With the capability to reach the top of a building or cliff in only seconds, new advantages are gained in urban warfare, rescue operations, and beyond"
