File this one under "WTF". I was checking out the new place where I am staying. It is on the 10th floor of a 15 floor building. My last place was on the 22nd floor of a 27 floor building and apparently did not have the need for one of these. The box is marked "Simple Descending Lifeline" in English or "간이완강기" in Korean. OK, so the name is descriptive enough... I look closer and find it is tethered to the wall with a very large anchor bolt. I guess that is to support my weight (as well as a theft deterrent). OK, everything makes sense so far, so I say to myself "How do I get out of here if I need to use it?" Ah, yes, the window has a handle and voila over the side we go. However, the only small problem is that the window is set to open only a few millimiters at the bottom and about 10cm at the top. WTF?
