Escape Chutes (Axel Thoms—Germany)
The Personal Safety Escape Chute was developed to evacuate people in a safe and speedy manner.
- The Escape Chute consists of 2 layers: outside layer which obstruct the view of the depth to the person entering the chute and inner spiral sliding layer which enables evacuees to glide evenly in a constant counter-clockwise motion and without a feeling of dropping.All layers are UVA resistant
- The receiving capsule (or exit capsule) ends 0.50 meters above the ground. The foam cushion at the bottom of the capsule ensures a smooth and soft landing.
- All components of the personal escape chute system are tested and approved by TŰV under the latest laws.
- The deceleration rate in the Personal Safety Escape Chute equals 2.10 meters per second. A normal elevator has a deceleration rate of 5 meters per second.
