It really must be impulsive because the person still could jump on the netting below and then go over.
I don't understand why LRer find it to be inconceivable that a net could be designed in a way that would preclude escape once the person had jumped into the thing.
If the material is super elastic, it would be basically impossible to move at all once you'd jumped in. When you tried to push against it, you'd just deform the net and your body wouldn't move at all.
You could also just make the walls too steep and slick to climb. If you make the thing so that people would have to scale 10 feet of vertical sheet metal to climb out, no one is escaping the net.
I'm sure someone could also figure out a way to make netting that would basically have a spiderweb action that would entrap anyone who jumped in.
I'm sure the professionals have better ideas than me, but the point is, it is far from impossible to build a net that a person would not be able to just climb out of.
