S.a.f.e. (suicide and fall estop) fall prevention system for bridges, viaducts or structures due to accidents or suicide attempts

Abstract

A SAFE (SUICIDE AND FALL ESTOP) which is intended to prevent suicide attempts or accidents that may result in death by free fall from high structures such as bridges, viaducts and buildings that allow passage through obstacles such as rivers and elevations and can be used as a high security element to prevent falling during maintenance of said structures, bridges, viaducts automatically or manually.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A SAFE system to prevent suicide attempts and accidental falls in bridges, viaducts and buildings comprising:
 at least one rail system;   at least one cabinet;   at least one capture mechanism;   an automation system   and/or a remote control.   
     
     
         2 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one rail mounted on a side or front face of a structure comprising buildings, bridges and viaducts where the SAFE system is installed, parallel to a plane whereon the buildings, bridges and viaducts sit. 
     
     
         3 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the SAFE system comprises a feature of transporting the capture mechanism. 
     
     
         4 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the capture mechanism includes an inner container containing a net made of a resilient and flexible material. 
     
     
         5 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the capture mechanism includes a servo motor which provides movement by receiving a command from the automation system and/or the remote control. 
     
     
         6 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the capture mechanism includes a radio receiver. 
     
     
         7 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the capture mechanism includes a plurality of metal profiles surrounding the net. 
     
     
         8 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 7 , wherein the capture mechanism has the ability to be closed around the metal profiles by means of a radio signal transmitted by the remote control or the automation system. 
     
     
         9 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the automation system includes a plurality of sensors and/or cameras that detect the possibility of any suicidal action in an area protected by the SAFE system. 
     
     
         10 ) (canceled) 
     
     
         11 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cabinet protects the capture mechanism against environmental conditions and charges the capture mechanism when the capture mechanism is not in operation. 
     
     
         12 ) The SAFE system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cabinet includes a lid, which enables an individual captured by the capture mechanism to be picked up by security officers.
