the chair is mounted off-centre in a 'zorb' so that it rests with the chair upright. it is powered by jets of air mounted in the steps that create a peristaltic shift up or down the staircase. if the jets fail the 'zorb' provides enough protection for the fall down the stairs.

inspired by hippo's Automatic Blow-Out Staircase of Excitement
