Whoever thought that this was a good idea in the Swiss bar?

This appears to show the foam acoustic type sheets as used in anechoic chamber or rifle cases for padding, in anechoic chambers it is designed to absorb sound or electromagnetic waves, eliminating echoes and reflections to create a "free field" environment, like being outdoors in open air. Walls, ceilings, and floors are lined with sound-absorbing materials like this polyfoam.
Very flammable like, DO NOT PUT STYRO TILES on your ceiling advice.

Thread 'Why I will be showing my twelve year old images of the Swiss fire'

A terrible waste and loss of life. And with it idiots who could have used the time to get themselves out, or let others get out, standing with their mobile 'phones filming it. I intend that he learns the lesson. One fire, one appliance, don't have the fire between you and your exit and if the one appliance doesn't extinguish it then get out. It's not your property that will be lost but it is your life. FAFO. If a place is full of dickheads and they start doing things that dickheads do then leave. Lives lost through absolute avoidable idiocy.

Seriously though whoever thought that using such a material was acceptable is criminally insane.
I know it's from the Daily Mail so only possibly true, but they are reporting today that the bar owner has a very dubious criminal background and is known locally as a pimp. Makes you seriously wonder about the local authorities. :-|

Indeed, although the Swiss probably view every business-owning Frenchman as a pimp.....rightly or rightly ...

Sorry, been out hunting.
 
Given it was decades ago that polystyrene tiles et al were banned from UK ceilings I'm:
  • Staggered that this does not appear to have pulled through to Swiss Building/Fire regs, and/or
  • That licensing authorities could permit such a ceiling, and, or
  • That no-one from other countries hadn't pointed out the obvious issues
Frankly, living with safety of life operations daily especially including fire as my day job, this absolutely beggars belief!
 
Interesting to read in today's paper that the Swiss national government was in the final stages of introducing legislation to relax fire safety requirements nationwide. Unsurprisingly this has now been put on hold.
