Вицепремиерът и министър на извънредните ситуации Емел Етем се срещна по време на изложението с представители на доброволните спасителни дружества. Според нея организации, като Сдружение „Специализиран отряд за спасяване“, досега незаслужено са били пренебрегвани от държавните институции. Министър Етем с нескрит интерес разгледа експозицията на специализирания отряд за спасяване, която бе представена от човека паяк Иван Кристоф. „Надявам се в бъдеще все по-често да работим с вашите екипи“, коментира тя при срещата с него.

В Спец. ОтрядазаСпасяване, ние тестваме всичко в реални и екстремниситуации. Ние подлгагаме нашите мобилни компютри и ИТ екипировка на най-безмилостни изпитания, като удари в земята, екстремни температури и даже балестични тестове с огнеострелно оръжие.Просто попитайтe Ген. Борисоw и бившия шеф на СОБТ (Специализиран Отряд за Борба с Тероризма) Нашата дейност в екстремни височини и критични ситуации изисква постоянно тестване на екипировката ни на по-големи изисквания за издържливост от тези на производителя.

ИТ екипировката ни се изпробва за издържливост на вибрации, радиосмущавания, магнетично и микровълново(RF )облъчване и работа в опасна среда. Ето пример от нашите публични демострации – Семинара- Testing of IT equipment

Това, което различава хора от животни е че хората имат задължения. Животните не действат разумно но и единствено по инстинкт и сетивни склонности, и, съответно, имат никакви задължения или задължения (човек е единственото живеещо същество, което се изчервява и единственият, който трябва). Всичко в природа работи според закони. Само смислено същество има властта да се играе според неговата концепция на закони т.е., според принципи, и посредством това той има воля,. Тъй като произходът на действията от закони изисква причина, волята е нищо друго, освен практична причина. Човек се смята за мощна противотежест до целите команди на смяната, които са представени на него от причина докато е толкова превъзходно достоен за почит. Причината безпощадно командва, чиито действия, които светът има може би дотук никога при положение, че пример и чиято възможност могат да добре бъдат поставени под съмнение от някой кой основава всичко на опит. Волята е друго различаване между хора и животни. То е мислено за като способност на определяне

Promotional day at the SkyDome
by Ivan Kristoff

1995 – Sept. 21 – Stuntman dies after SkyDome fall
”An experienced stuntman who plummeted 10 storeys to the floor of SkyDome failed to make a complete check of his equipment before the fatal fall.” Canadian News Digest

1995 – July 9th – A worker dies when installing lights for a computer show (falling 25 feet)

These are the news about the tragic accidents that occurred at the SkyDome in Toronto. A few years late I was requested by a client to promote the very first mobile wireless computer in the world. I expected to be a big challenge to convince the event organizers, the management of the Toronto Argounauts and the owners of the building to do a ropework acrobatic show, because of the above mentioned fatal falls. In this case my name worked for me. It’s true what they say about your name: “Your work 10 years for you name, then it works for you”.

For the opening of the game of Toronto Argonauts vs. Montreal Alouettes, I had to rappel down from the roof of the stadium with the mobile touch-screen monitor in my left hand, pause at 250 feet, write “Welcome to…”, which would be displayed on the big Jumbothron screen in front of the 20 thousand people crowd and millions watching on TV, continue to rappel down safely and give the ball to the players. I was even asked by the Operational Manager of Skydome, to lower my rope slowly, so not to scare the people… Yeah, right. I had different plans.

I measured my ropes to hang a few meters off the ground. I wanted to freak out the Operational Manager and to entertain the crowd, who would wander how I can land with a short rope… After I heard the Canadian national autumn and my name on the loud speakers, I threw my ropes (tangled in a yellow bag), whish untangled on the way down. Suddenly, the whole stadium was silenced for a few moments and I heard down some screams and cheering. Either they thought that something or somebody felt down, or they were to excited of the surprise. This was just a few weeks after 9/11 and people were easy to be scared. I wanted to surprise them more by scaling upside down. We grabbed their attention on the big screen, and in inverted position I descended very fast with my head down. As I was “falling” I was circling my legs, waving my hands, looking downward and just before the end of the rope I paused… the rope extended form my weight and acceleration and just before I hit the ground, I inverted my position , stood on both legs and handled the ball to the Argonaut’s players. The crowd went crazy.
