Woa pretty durable Umbrella.... but any kind of wind like that I would not want to be carrying something that could send me off like Marry Poppins or poke both my eyes out ![]()

Awesome video. Im surprised he was actually able to hold the umbrella and not get swept away.
The new layout rocks!
Thank you SnotR!

Honestly... Nice umbrella with excellent build quality but if I get caught in a tornado I think I will die leaving my umbrella for someone else to pick up.... I don't want someone else to have my $100+ umbrella.
It's made in TUDelft , Netherlands, and costs around 120 Euros !!
but the wind here is that high that you need to buy at least couple of normal Umbrellas each year, (non will last) but this will last at least!

theres so many things i would do with one of these machines! ![]()
cool video, I never saw the complete test.
But why don't test till it broke?
and I believe it's not made by TU Delft, but by a few guys studying at the TU Delft (probably not anymore)
I got 3 of these now, 1 at home, 1 at work and 1 in the car I really don't want without. (55 euros at the TU Delft shop ;-) everywhere else "only 60". they simply hold out in any circumstance
Gerwin, Philip and Gerard: great job! please also post the jump from the airplain ![]()

And the standard classic is only 49.95 euro not 120
at over 132km/h no matter wat kind of umbrella u have your going to get wet...
crank it up higher next time.

#18 I was noticing the same thing. It was very impressive that the umbrella held up against 83 mph winds but it was not giving any protection is there was rain involved. The moral of this story is that if you are caught in 83 mph winds and rain, GET YOUR ASS INSIDE! Your expensive umbrella will not save you and you will still be wet! ![]()

What is the need of an umbrella in a tornado...i woulnt care to get wet..i would care to not be blown away ![]()
But the umbrella is pretty tough..i wonder if it works vice versa..like a paracute
turning and facing the other direction should have been apart of the umbrella's test, how much wind power to cause it to flip inside out

"So, what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, I generally get beat about the head and chest by an umbrella."
"I see, that explains the bruises."
