Used by fire brigades for jump rescues from limited heights (10–12 meters, i.e., 2–3 floors).

• NOT usable for high rises
   
• Require trained firefighters to deploy
   
• Time-consuming to set up
   
• Weather-dependent
   
• Cannot save people above ~3rd floor
   

→ Practically useless for modern 20–40 floor buildings.

Fire brigades use:

• Turntable ladders
   
• Hydraulic platforms
   
• Sky lifts
   

• Maximum reach: 60–70 meters (20–22 floors)
   
• Many cities only have 30–45m ladders
   
• Cannot reach inner courtyards of buildings
   
• Cannot operate if roads are narrow or blocked by traffic
   

→ Not reliable for tall buildings or congested urban areas.

Refuge Areas / Refuge Floors

-Every 7-9 floors height, builders must provide:

• Open / ventilated refuge spaces
   
• Fire-rated protection
   

• Only a waiting area
   
• Does NOT help with actual evacuation
   
• People still depend on firefighters to rescue them
   

→ Helps buy time, does not solve the evacuation problem.

Vertical chutes installed outside buildings for sliding escape.

• Not popular in India (almost none in residential towers)
   
• Cause injuries if not used properly
   
• High maintenance issues
   
• Not suitable for elderly, disabled

Includes:

• Sprinklers
   
• Smoke detectors
   
• Fire doors
   
• Hose reels
   
• Alarm systems
   

These systems reduce fire, but do not provide any means of escape from upper floors once the fire blocks the stairwell.

Sometimes firefighters use crane baskets.

• Extremely slow
   
• Can rescue only 2–3 people at a time
   
• Not feasible for mass evacuation

India currently lacks:

• Personal evacuation devices
   
• Individual descent systems
   
• Household escape tools
   
• Mass adoption of controlled-descent devices
   
• Government-backed high-rise evacuation solutions
   
• Consumer-level fire evacuation products
   

This is the biggest gap in India’s fire safety ecosystem, especially as:

• high-rise living increases
   
• fire trucks cannot access inner roads
   
• fires spread faster in modern materials
   
• staircases often fill with smoke in 3–7 minutes 

Because of these gaps, thousands end up jumping from balconies and windows in fire emergencies each year. Traditional safety systems aim to stop fire —SafeSKYDROP™ aims to save people.

Why Safe Skydrop™ Fills a Critical National Gap

Safe Skydrop™ is unique because:

• It provides individual escape from ANY floor level
   
• No electricity required
   
• Controlled descent (not free fall like chutes)
   
• Compact & installable in homes/hotels/offices
   
• Works even if staircases are blocked
   
• Does NOT require fire brigade arrival
   
• Can work for multiple people
   
• CE certified
   
• Zero maintenance
   

This aligns with:

• SDMA (State Disaster Management Authority) goals
   
• NDMA guidelines for citizen preparedness
   
• Urban safety enhancement
   
• Mass adoption needs

Why SafeSKYDROP™ Matters

SafeSKYDROP™ is designed for scenarios where:

• Smoke blocks staircases
   
• Fire reaches the corridors
   
• People are trapped inside rooms
   
• Rescue teams cannot reach upper floors
   
• Lifts shut down (mandatory during fire)
   
• Panic forces people toward windows and ledges
   

In these moments, a controlled descent device becomes the only possible escape.

Existing Safety                         What They Do            What They Cannot Do

Extinguishers & Hydrants    Fight fire                   Cannot evacuate trapped persons

Alarms & Detectors               Alert occupants       Cannot provide an exit 

Fire Doors & Staircases        Safe passage            Become inaccessible due to smoke

Fire Brigade                            Rescue support       Often delayed & cannot reach high  

SafeSKYDROP™ adds the ONLY personal escape system that works even when all other systems fail.

• Works for multi-storey apartments, hotels, hostels, offices
• Requires minimal installation
• Can save children, elderly, disabled occupants
• Supports mass evacuation with multiple devices
   

• Because fires don’t wait.
• Because infrastructure cannot change overnight.
• Because people panic.
• Because lives are lost in minutes.

SafeSKYDROP™ gives every resident a real, reliable, reachable way to survive.
