It's great fun - but frankly it's also bloody stupid. Apart from being far too fragile for use in public spaces, where it won't be long before some clown swings on it and breaks, it, it's also too vague and wobbly. You have to chase the jug around to get a cupful.
Clever and pretty but impractical. My guess...designed by an artist.
Time to nit-pick - it's not a SCUBA suit - that's an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. The one shown ain't self-contained, it relied on a surface pump and hoses; Surface Supplied Diving.
Trouble with data is that it's often picked from narrow sets and applied widely. I expect that 60 items is from a survey of people who buy a lot of clothes! You're right, though - even counting individual socks I don't suppose I buy more than 20 items of clothing a year.
More - more! From what I understand from this side of the pond, some American banks are unable to actually prove their holdings, having shuffled the pack so thoroughly. This should be their come-uppance.
No more dangerous than a climbing frame - the dynamics of swinging mean that you can't throw yourself far forwards - you can have speed but low-down and only horizontal, or loft, but at zero speed so you just come downwards onto the net.
My kids would love one - if they see this they'll be pestering me to get the welder out.
The sideways wind loading on that would be immense. Bridge designers go to considerable trouble to reduce wind drag - I can't see them going the other way on purpose.

Starts off decidedly iffy, but resolves wonderfully.
