Using the Emergency Fire Escape Chute
When using the emergency fire escape chute, the speed of vertical descent is about 2.1 metres (7 feet) per second compared to 5 metres (16.5 feet) per second with the average passenger lift.
You are sliding down the fire escape chute constantly and will never have the feeling of falling because you have firm contact with the sliding cloth. You will reach the exit in safety and comfort.
When several people descend in the fire escape chute in succession there will be no blockage within the chute because of its spiral construction. The law of friction and gravity will keep bodies with different weights apart in equal distance.
The fire escape chute is constructed to also evacuate small children weighing over 12 kg (27lbs) as well as people with disabilities.
Practical experiments have shown that 8 to 10 people can descend in the fire escape chute from a height of 30 metres (100 feet) within 2 minutes.
The fire escape chute is designed to provide safe and quick evacuation of people. The system is geared to facilitate the escape of infant, adult and elderly with or without mobility deficiencies. It is used as an alternative or complementary escape route in case of emergency such as terrorist attack, earthquake, fire, etc. It is also used as an alternative “secret” escape route. Its compact storage box can be designed to integrate fully in any décor. It is generally installed by a window, roof top or balcony.
When purchasing a chute the customer also receives an annual service contract. This contract will provide maintenance of the equipment and individual training of all the persons who will use the fire escape chute in an emergency situation.
The Emergency Fire Escape Chute is guaranteed for 15 years and carries liability insurance for that term.
