Samsonite launched a suitcase into space and then let it crash

Bah! Increase! Straight to the moon!

Luggage maker Samsonite took a piece of luggage up 130,000 feet to test its durability — and not only did the expensive reel pass the test with flying colors, but the entire stunt was captured on video.

The Proxis Global hand spinnerwhich now retails for $425, was catapulted into space before plummeting to earth, where it landed in spectacular fashion, according to footage released by the company.

Withstanding temperatures as low as -85F, the suitcase was able to descend from the stratosphere at a controlled speed thanks to a self-deploying parachute system, Travel + Rest reported

The video first shows the landing gear of the product.

The feat was accomplished in partnership with Sent Into Space, a marketing agency that specializes in sending products into sky-high altitudes to see if they can survive the adventure.

The bag is said to be the lightest and strongest in the company’s history at just 4.6 pounds. The outer shell is made from Roxkin, a material created for the brand that is a “recyclable, multi-layered and highly responsive material” according to T+L.

“It’s very strong but extremely light, and with that weight-to-strength ratio comes durability,” Ulliyada Bopanna, Samsonite’s vice president of design and innovation, told the publication.

Over the years, Sent Into Space has produced a wide range of products, from blenders to Barbie dolls.

Samsonite’s instructions were simple—and bold, as Dr. Chris Rose, head of projects and business development at Sent Into Space, shared.

Brand asked him to “hit” the suitcase “uphill” – and he did.

“I’m glad we were able to find that mountain for them,” he told T+L. “Because the footage speaks for itself.”
