SkySaver Overview
SkySaver is a personal rescue device for people in multistory buildings. The SkySaver portable escape system can be easily stored and is lightweight, self-contained, easy to use, and capable of carrying up to 300 pounds. In the event of an emergency, users can simply strap on the backpack, attach the fire-resistant cable to a secure anchor point, and exit through the nearest window. The SkySaver will slowly and automatically lower them to safety. The company has three product lines: for personal use in homes or office settings in very tall buildings; for use in homes or office buildings between two and six stories; and professional products for use in construction sites, cranes, amusement parks with tall rides, wind turbines, and drilling rigs.
