Technology at it's finest. I can't believe that mere WALLPAPER can absorb so much punishment.

I wonder how it will be if Michael Bay gets his hands on this...

Okay; now how about you test it with an actual-sized wrecking ball, or with actual explosives.

WOAH - now that is impressive

Although surely repeated hits would just mean the ceiling would fall in, the wall might be intact-ish thanks to the paper but it won't hold up the roof right?

OK, that was nowhere the size of real wrecking ball(I could carry this shit in my pocket) and nowhere the size of a real wall, but still that's pretty fucking strong paper. given the werecking ball outsite of San Fierro TransFender shop, that wall would bend on fist try.

Now I know what I'd want if a wrecking ball came through my house while I was in it!

It looks like it could be really useful if you live in a warzone or something, but frankly, I'm thinking that when a bomb hits your house and destroys one of the walls, you might not have to be concerned about the wall falling on top of you, but rather the roof doing so.

Whilst it looks good and seems to work well i get the feeling that in the end it will be the metal strips that hold the wallpaper in place that are the real breaking point, still cool though.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode with the Nukeclear fallout and the Simpsons where saved by their super thick lead paint.

So does this stuff work without it being bolted to the floor/ceiling?
Surely its easier to make the wall from reinforced concrete.

Thats so awesome. Screw digging a bomb shelter, just line your house with this stuff.
Screw the wall, just build a HOUSE out of this stuff. And duct tape.
It's still paper though and scissors beats paper even if its bombproof.
