This invention relates to a rapidly deployable personal escape system that allows a person to evacuate a burning or otherwise incapacitated multistory building or structure. This invention consists of a mounting plate or pin for fastening one end of the descent line, an appropriate length of galvanized or stainless steel cable cored, Nomex clad descent line affixed to the mounting point, an aluminum friction descending device through which the descender line runs in order to provide a controllable and acceptable rate of descent, a body supporting full-body harness constructed of heat resistant Kevlar and Nomex aramid fibre material and designed for complete body support, even in the event of a subject's inversion during operation. Said harness connects to the descending device by means of a metal connecting D-ring clamp or a caribiner fastening device as used by mountaineers, thus securing the evacuee's suspended body to the escape system, and a descent line carrying friction spool contained in a hard shell cartridge style spool encasement which is in turn placed into a fire-resistant container bag which attaches to the back of the full-body harness. Said variety of descent line container will be determined by the length of descent line appropriately required. The descent line will slip at a controlled rate through the cylinder gates of the descender friction-brake device, with a continual engagement of fresh descent line being advanced as is required by the downward progress of the evacuee.
