Japanese teenager invents detachable window fence, sparking heated discussion, inspired by Kyoto Animation incident

Recently, an invention by a Japanese teenager has sparked heated discussions and has been on the Twitter trending search list. The principle of the invention is not complicated. It is a window fence that can be easily disassembled indoors. It is said that the inspiration for the invention came from the Kyoto Animation incident. It can give new life to those who are trapped at the fire scene and cannot get out because of the fixed fence.

The Kyoto Animation incident was hailed as the most tragic anime tragedy in 2019 due to the heavy casualties. Many of the victims were killed because they could not escape the fire due to the fixed fences. The invention of a middle school student in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu, once again sparked heated discussions, and many netizens questioned why such a simple design is not seen in the window industry?

The principle of the invention is very simple. By installing buckles on the four wall-penetrating fixing rods on the inside of the fence, as long as the switch is turned on indoors, the fence can be easily pushed out to quickly escape from the accident scene.

The boy also won the silver medal in the 2020 World Invention Competition. Netizens were more regretful that if the house where Kyoto Animation crashed had also been equipped with such window fences, perhaps many victims would have survived.
