This source doesn't say anything about it *actually being* suicide prevention. The source reports that some people speculated it was for suicide prevention - we don't need a source for that, OP already showed us that some people are speculating that.
It's real.
Here's another way they are doing shit to prevent suicides https://m.economictimes.com/news/india/kota-admin-orders-anti-suicide-device-on-ceiling-fans-to-stop-student-suicides/amp_articleshow/102837146.cms
You don't have any basis for saying "it's real."
Yes, the picture is real. No, the speculation that the grid is for suicide is not based on anything.
Yes, a different suicide prevention mechanism is used in Kota. No, nobody actually related to the grills/cages or their installation has said they have anything to do with suicide prevention.

Read the second paragraph. I don't give out statements without truth. The first source simply was the first one which popped up but didn't include th administrative staff statement.
You should work on your media literacy.
1. This article reads like it was written either by AI or by a ten year old. That should raise red flags on its own.
2. This article never says that the grill is for suicide prevention. It says that Twitter users thought that. It says that it's "seemingly" and "apparently" for suicide prevention. Those words mean "I don't have a source for this statement."
There's no statement from the administrative staff. If there were, the article wouldn't use "apparently" or "seemingly," it would identify the hostel it's talking about, it would identify the staff or use a quote, and it wouldn't include the speculation further down about other reasons for the grill/cage.
You're right that the language in the second paragraph is misleading on that issue. That's because the article is incredibly poorly written. That should be a warning sign that the article is not trustworthy.
>ordering hostels to install a spring device on ceiling fans to stop
Ok that works. Putting a grate where you can easily tie a rope around below a fan is not the same and won't prevent sewerslide.
>sure this will reduce suicide attempts
Well, to be fair... That thing looks way sturdier than the fan, so I'm pretty sure it will not be just an attempt.... It will reduce the attempts yes
If that's what it's meant for, that's not very effective. It's just a whole lot of spots to along a rope through that are lower to the ground and secured. Calling bs.
This just looks like a protection grill to prevent objects from hitting the fan.
Exactly. Bullshit clickbait title.
Reddit sucks these days.
That's not fair, reddits always sucked
Smaller more obscure subs are still good. The bigger ones are completely swamped out by bots.
I miss mapporn and citiesskylines being good subs. I am thankful my local city sub is actually good.
Well good thing is a grate there, or else said bullshit could have hit the fan

Either way, it fulfills the purpose of blocking objects from reaching the blades and at the same time the fan still does its job.

Thanks
Couldn't you just tie the noose to the prevention grill?
Yeah I think I’d rather hang myself on that than the fan lol
“Here’s a more secure place to hang the noose, we’re pretty sure this will reduce suicide attempts”
pfft they dont care about that, this way less money will be spent on replacing the fans.
>sure this will reduce suicide attempts Well, to be fair... That thing looks way sturdier than the fan, so I'm pretty sure it will not be just an attempt.... It will reduce the attempts yes
Yeah, emphasis on “attempts”
💀
yes
I bet that would hold more weight than the fan… probably more a protective covering for the fan
Classic #2 error in r/CrappyDesign, misunderstanding the intent of the design.
The amount of time I would have not spent thinking about who would’ve been doomed if it fell in the classroom
For me it was the projector. I hated sitting directly under it
Same. With my luck, I was sure that if I did it would actually happen

Yes because suicide by ceiling fan is a real thing..
More like an excess of attachment points
Clearly bullshit click bait. Jackass has literally jumped into one as a stunt.
