SKY-SLIDE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SYSTEM Abstract This invention relates to an emergency descending device from an elevated structure, which comprises a wire rope secured to the elevated structure at one extremity and branching to at least two wire ropes at the other extremity. Each of the branching wire ropes reaching down to the ground level is reeled on a take-up reel equipped with a braking means for releasing the branching wire rope at a controlled speed when the branching wire rope is under a tension and a means for rewinding the branching wire ropes when the branching wire rope is substantially free of tension. The take-up reels respectively taking up the branching wire ropes are widely separated from each other. The person wearing a harness with a clasp hooks the clasp attached to the harness on the wire rope branching to at least two branching wire ropes and then jumps off from the elevated structure. As the clasp travels down and pulls the branching wire ropes together against the resistance provided by the braking means, the descending person is slowed down to a safe tangling. When the clasp is removed from the branching wire ropes, the take-up reels reel up the branching wire ropes and the emergency descending device becomes ready for next descending person.
