User Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we use SkySaver?

SkySaver is your way out of life threatening situations caused by fire, earthquake and terror attacks, when main escape routes are inaccessible. Surviving an emergency is all about distancing your family from danger as fast as possible. Your survival chances are measured in minutes. Remember, the first responder is you. The fast and safe way out is the SkySaver.

How should we use SkySaver?

SkySaver is easy to use and requires no skill at all. Anyone can do it.
Simply follow our 3 step process: Buckle Up, Clip onto the anchor point, Exit through window or balcony.
Once you have released yourself, the SkySaver will automatically slowly lower you towards the ground floor.
Watch out for obstacles on your way down, and gently use your arms and legs to bypass them. You can hold on to an object in order to slow or stop your descent, though we recommend against it. If you do, once you let go of it, you will gradually resume your original descending speed.

How many people can I take with me?

Each adult needs a SkySaver Backpack. You can carry a baby, a child, or your pet with the attachable front harness, designed specifically for this purpose. The SkySaver Family Backpack connects to the harness through the front side buckles. Once connected, your loved ones are the closest to you on your way down.

How Fast does it go down?

SkySaver lowers you at a steady speed of 3 to 5 feet per second (1 to 1.6 meters per second), depending on your weight. For instance, if you carry your child with you, your speed will be a bit faster than your speed descending alone. The average user experiences this speed range very slowly and with a comfortable and smooth descent.

What is the min/max weight it can carry?

SkySaver is certified in the USA to carry a minimum of 66 lbs. and a maximum of 298 lbs. which is equivalent to 30 Kg. or 135 Kg.
In Europe, SkySaver is certified to carry a minimum load of 30 Kg. and a maximum load up to 120 Kg. which is equivalent to carry a minimum of 66 lbs. and a maximum of 264 lbs. Children weighing less than 66 lbs. or 35 Kg. must use the attachable child harness, which connects to the front side of the SkySaver Family Backpack, and allows each adult to carry a child with him. Our tests show SkySaver performs well carrying up to 270 Kg., and we expect to extend the certified load limits for our current product line soon.

Should I install an anchor in my apartment?

You can use the SkySaver with a mobile anchor or a fixed anchor. Each SkySaver box contains two fixed anchors ready for installation in your premises. Anchor installation must be carried out by a certified professional only. To reach a certified installer in your area, please send us a message on the Contact Us page.

How does SkySaver Work?

SkySaver is a Controlled Descend Device (CDD) which is attached to the backpack and the harness. The CDD is a friction based mechanism commonly used in professional security operations and extreme sports. The SkySaver CDD is designed for everyday people, yet is highly resilient to a variety of extreme conditions.

How many times can I use the SkySaver?

You can use the SkySaver several times, but must be rewound at the SkySaver test center lab and is required to recertify by SkySaver. For more details, please leave us a message on the Contact Us page.
