    I believe they are required for worker dorms in China, news communities on ML or any building over 4 floors with windows in Russia. But yeah… um… totally for “accidental falls”.

      I would have thought Russia would have been dead against accidental fall net. It increases the likelihood that Putin would actually have to compete in an election.

        Yeah he would have to accidentally tamper with the nets so they accidentally fail. Seems like a lot of extra work.

        Construction was probably contracted out to the same company that built the thousands of T-14 tanks we see operating in Ukraine.

      Keep buying those iPhones people! Their supply chains have nets like these too.
