FAQ

Product Questions

How do SkySaver products work together?
Every configuration draws on three core components: a harness that supports the person, an automatic descent device that controls the descent, and an anchor solution that connects the system to a suitable structural anchor point. Parent harnesses accept dependent attachments for an infant, a child or a pet.
Which descent device suits which height?
SkySaver systems are supplied for descent heights of about 80, 160, 260 and 390 ft (25, 50, 80 and 120 m). The Hercules Heavy-Duty MCBD and Platinum Lightweight ADD serve high-altitude building evacuation and the Hercules Pro Heavy-Duty MCBD high-altitude industrial evacuation. The Yoless CCBD covers low-altitude evacuation from 20–50 ft (6 to 15 m), and the Multi-Person YoYo CCBD continuous multi-user evacuation from 30–165 ft (9 to 50 m).
Can an adult evacuate with a child, an infant or a pet?
Yes. The parent harnesses (models 12–15) accept the infant, child, small dog or cat, and large dog attachments (models 17–20). The selected combination must suit the users, the combined load and the descent distance.
What warranty applies?
Warranty depends on the product: 7 years for harnesses, dependent attachments and the full-friction devices; 10 years for the Platinum Lightweight ADD; 25 years for the Hercules Heavy-Duty MCBD and the Hercules Pro Heavy-Duty MCBD; and 7 years or factory warranty for anchorage products.
Which standards apply?
Harnesses and attachments: ANSI/ASSP Z359.4-2013 (R2022) and EN 1497:2007. Descent devices: ANSI/ASSP Z359.9-2021 and EN 341:2011. Anchorage: ANSI/ASSP Z359.18-2017, EN 17235:2024, EN 795:2012 Type B, ASTM F2175-23 or EN 131-4, depending on the model.
