“Most existing bailout systems regularly get caught on ledges and sills, which require us to take certain precautions, such as pre-measuring rope around the window sill, that delay our descent from the burning building,” stated Kelly Byrne, Washington DC Firefighter and CMC School Instructor. This both protects the anchor and limits impact forces on the firefighter. In the event of a dynamic drop, impact force mitigation limits the maximum force exerted on the system reducing the chance of overload. Simple descent control is made possible by the LEVR’s unibody actuation, ergonomic shape, and knurled handle – which offers a sturdy, confidence-inspiring grip even when wet. The LEVR descender maintains an ultra-low payout force, which allows the user to easily reach the point of egress once the anchor has been placed, while its streamlined profile allows the device to easily negotiate obstacles such as window sills, railings or parapets even when loaded.
