Donut Personal Control Descent Device

The Donut Safeland Personal Control Descent Device is a lightweight unit that is designed for use in extreme emergencies as a last means of escape from high-rise commercial, industrial or residential buildings.

It enables the user to escape by means of individual controlled descent once it has been attached to a load bearing structure.

This patented device is a modification of the Donut system, which is the offshore oil and gas industry standard method of personal escape.

Donut was originally designed and developed after the Piper Alpha tragedy, in 1988, which claimed the lives of 160+ persons. It was originally developed with the co-operation of the UK regulatory authorities and the North Sea operators as a means of escape from oil & gas installations. Over 80,000 successful descents have been made during training sessions using the Donut.
