Just a thought here. Imagine if it suddenly turns windy, the pole goes and you follow, on your ariss  :)

Rubbish, anybody with a basic level of engineering could see that thing is about as much use as an ashtray in a pub.

He is holding the pole wrong for a start.
Using the pole as he is in the demo, the "Waspak" is probably serving the purpose of taking some of the weight of the pole directly off the arms.
However using the physics example of a beam and pivot point,  in most situations it's possible to hold the pole further up (instead of at the butt cap) so the pivot point changes and the weight is better balanced.
Thus saving the window cleaner looking like a prat.

Waspak is the brainchild of Fred de Ridder - a humble Dutch Window Cleaner who decided to solve his own problems with Repetitive Motion Injuries - LOOK AT THIS !
WasPak is an incredible invention that will one day be an OSHA requirement for all high window cleaning with Water Fed Poles.

Are you going to Hijack this invention too Herman?
Plenty of scope, maybe build it from unobtanium and washing up bottles.

Would probably be good  tool when vacuuming gutters cleaning  other high surfaces .
See that they have a special one use to hold long  pressure cleaning wands as well.
