Whistle Zipper

Rescue Aid

This ingeniously simple design solution is a combination of zipper and whistle. When an earthquake or other disaster occurs, people trapped under rubble can use the zipper whistle to call for help. This is more effective and much less physically exhausting than shouting. The whistle sounds will lead rescue workers to the exat location of the trapped person. Because disaster strikes unannounced, a design integrated into everyday cloting is a brilliant idea.

JURY STATEMENT

A simple but very effective solution with the potential to save lives in emergency and disaster contexts.

WINNER STATEMENT

Thank my family and friends. I hope I can succeed in my career.
