The LifeSlider
The Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ) requires workplaces, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be accessible to persons with disabilities. Shouldn't that person also have a quick and safe means of access out of these same buildings?
Thus, the LifeSlider was designed! Patented by William A. Moore in 1998, the LifeSlider is a truly original and unique rescue device. Speed and safety being the key issues in evacuation, the LifeSlider allows the rescuer to descend the stairway at his or her own pace, with the evacuee safely restrained inside the unit in a comfortable, vertical, seated position. The LifeSlider's compact, flat-bottomed, toboggan-like design allows it to travel down narrow stairs, around tight corners, through small doorways, and across outdoor terrain with ease. The LifeSlider is lightweight, durable, and reusable. Its low center of gravity provides maximum stability. The LifeSlider is virtually maintenance-free, requiring no electricity, batteries, or motors. Anyone can be easily trained to operate the LifeSlider, enhancing the Emergency Preparedness Program in your company or building. Or any other place, where personal safety and evacuation of the disabled is a concern.
