As part of the re-furb we're starting to think about how to escape a
fire if the staircase is impassable. We plan to stay here until age and
decrepitude means we have to move, so the system needs to be usable by a
wide age range. There seem to be escape ladders or rope descenders (is
there anything else, apart from greasy poles?) but I can't imagine using
a rope ladder when old, and a rope descender either needs a return
mechanism or a descender and harness for each person.

What does the team think? Has anyone here been through the same process
and come up with a smart solution?


AS advertised on Farcebook recently

Personally I cannot see too many problems except...

The demo assumes no up-draft from a fire - nor as a result of prevailing
winds hitting the building.

You are parachuted through a cladding fire - I hope all components are
fire proof.

It may work for one individual but for many using similar at the same time?
