Strangely, this clever invention by Benjamin Oppenheimer never became popular. It looks like an excellent way to escape a burning building. The system consists of a parachute strapped to the head and padded shoes to ease the impact with the ground. What could possibly go wrong?

This is not so.
QE11 is the monarch of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland [southern Ireland - now called Eire - having gained independence many years ago].
The UK is ruled by parliament and politicians, not by the monarch.

It was Queen Victoria that was referenced, actually.
Pretty academic really as it's Queen Elizabeth II and she isn't the countries ruler.
come on, say it with me "A R N O L D".
