Doctors without borders FTW.
Inflatable hospitals + generators + portable sewage treatment system = go anywhere at anytime full response system.
Great charity to support!Comment

They used them in Vietnam. I remember my dad talking about them. He's a retire Army anesthesiologist.Comment

Saw a prototype on Dragon's Den (UK) for something similar, except this involved concrete and chemical reactions to inflate and harden the walls... it starts in a box but ends up as a semi permanent structure.
Wouldn't the one in the OP vid need constant filling to compensate for leaks??Comment

The reason those inflatable castles need to be constantly blown up is because they have air exhausts to make it more bouncy / less rigid and safer.
The materials they'd use, the plastics, and the valves in those things are probably pretty secure.What name is pr0 / Untouched Markets using these days? Untouched Markets - pr0 - Refund My Money Now
Someone owes me $2,000 because they didn't do any work that was paid for *pointing at pr0 / William / UntouchedMarkets*

I am thinking that they are manufactured industrial grade so to stop such problems.....they are a bit stronger then an inflatable air mattress you get at walmart.Saw a prototype on Dragon's Den (UK) for something similar, except this involved concrete and chemical reactions to inflate and harden the walls... it starts in a box but ends up as a semi permanent structure.

I will just hope that they get rid of those things by 2010's hurricane season.Comment

what next! Inflatable double wides?“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

I went to an agricultural trade show and this French company had these inflatable water tanks. The plastic is very thick and hard to cut so leaks are quite improbable. Even if they happen, the company did a repair demo. Seems fairly easy and cheap to do.Comment
