RSSIlluminated climbing wall teaches you how to spell while you fall
This climbing wall / human size LED display called the "DigiGripper", has a few tricks up its sleeve. If you hold onto an illuminated dot, the dot retreats into the wall causing you to fall on your butt. The longer you hold onto the display, the quicker the letters change and the person who holds onto the display the longest becomes the winner.

The text does not match the video. "If you hold onto an illuminated dot, the dot retreats into the wall causing you to fall on your butt." should read "If you hold onto an UN-illuminated dot, the dot retreats into the wall causing you to fall on your butt."
- not true - did you watch the video? -jbc

it s a bit hard to see in the video but djuggler is right. "...However, if one uses an unilluminated dot, this dot will cave in, causing the climber to slip and to tumble to the ground..." text from Vimeo link http://www.vimeo.com/780589?pg=embed&sec=780589
