British Man Climbs Up Side Of Building Using DIY Vacuum Gloves

2:00AM July 26, 2009 | Dan Nosowitz

As part of a BBC science show called Bang Goes the Theory, inventor Jem Stansfield climbed up the side of the 140-foot BBC building using “vacuum gloves” made from an ordinary vacuum cleaner.

We don’t know much about the actual gloves, seemingly built from plywood and a couple of dustbusters, so we’ve got a bit of doubt about the whole enterprise, especially as it’s described by the BBC itself as a “stunt.” But whatever: There’s a guy climbing the side of a building!

    ZOMG! That is fantastic. Now we just need a cordless Dyson and we’ll be set.
