Product description
When in use, the EscapeLine opens rapidly and takes only 1.9 seconds to reach full inflation. Its optimal descent rate of approximately 1000 feet per minute was a key consideration during design and development.
We want to ensure you reach the ground as quickly as possible and avoid floating around on unpredictable air currents. These and all other aspects of the EscapeLine have been tested at length to demonstrate that the EscapeLine functions safely and smoothly during all stages of use.

Why EscapeLine?
We, Executive Chute, LLC created the EscapeLine because we saw a need. With the construction of high-rise business towers and apartment complexes, more and more people are vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. Traditional escape routes and emergency services simply do not have the capability to handle volatile rescue missions far above ground level.
Understanding this need and wanting to find a solution, we began to work closely with a leading parachute manufacturer that has a long history of parachute design for commercial and military use. With more than two decades of experience in creating emergency reserve parachutes, our partner has helped us to develop a safe and easy-to-use alternative parachute that requires little to no training.
