ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An escape mechanism comprising a vertically disposed hollow rail, with at least one rack disposed within the rail. A running and suspension apparatus is equipped with a support and includes an engagement portion which comprises at least one pinion adapted to be introduced within the rail in such a way that the pinion engages the rack for allowing the apparatus to move along the rail only upon rotation of the pinion. The engagement portion comprising impeding means having inertial escapement members for hindering that rotation and for slowing the descent by gravity of the apparatus while the engagement portion is engaged within the rail. The hollow rail will preferably be permanently affixed to the face of a building at a location which can be reached by someone vacating the building through any opening on the same floor which may serve as an emergency exit. The support means will be designed to support the body of the person escaping, who will be suspended thereby from the running and suspension apparatus during its descent by gravity.
