Did you know? In Taiwan, about 2 out of every 10 fires occur in high-rise buildings between six to twenty stories. With the densely populated characteristics and the increasing number of residential buildings, the number of fire trucks is actually insufficient. Even more concerning is that many residential areas have narrow alleys where fire trucks cannot enter to provide rescue!
Moreover, many elderly people live alone, and when their children are not around, a tragedy can occur if a disaster strikes and they are unable to move quickly.
To prevent accidents and ensure personal safety, every household must be prepared for emergencies.
The EZ66 recommends the【SKYSAVER】Emergency Fire Escape Backpack. When a fire occurs and the fire department cannot arrive in time,
you can escape safely and quickly by simply (1) putting it on, (2) fastening it, and (3) descending.。
This product complies with safety and fire protection standards recognized by the American ANSI and international ASTM, provides a 7-year warranty, and is designed for single-use, ensuring strict safety standards.
Consider this: when a fire occurs, what measures do you have to protect yourself and your family's safety?
It’s better to be safe than sorry. We strongly recommend being prepared with the 【SKYSAVER】Emergency Fire Escape Backpack.Only those who are well-prepared can save themselves and be rescued!
This product comes in three descent heights: 20 meters, 50 meters, and 80 meters, allowing you to choose according to your living floor.
Product Introduction
The Hidden Fire Escape Crisis in High-Rise Buildings
According to data from Taiwan's Ministry of the Interior in 2015 and 2016, nearly 2 out of every 10 fires occur in high-rise buildings between 6 to 20 stories. Despite the availability of fire trucks with ladder reaches up to 70 meters, the increasing number of high-rise buildings still outpaces their capacity. Building fire safety awareness in homes and workplaces, as well as strengthening personal protective measures and escape equipment, is essential for people living and working in high-rises today.
Disaster Preparedness Through Regular Drills – Securing the Golden Three Minutes for Escape
According to the National Fire Agency's fire statistics, fires have not decreased as expected, with most caused by electrical failures and arson. When disaster strikes, only those who are prepared in advance can save themselves and be rescued. The SKYSAVER Personal Fire Escape Backpack was designed in response to this need, providing residents and workers in urban areas with a reliable fire escape solution.
SkySaver. Reach Safety in Seconds
SkySaver is a one-time-use fire escape backpack designed to provide rapid evacuation during emergencies. The device includes a complete safety harness and heat-resistant steel cable. In case of an emergency, simply attach the cable to a pre-installed anchor point, and its specialized automatic braking system ensures that users can descend safely and quickly to the ground.

What safety certifications has this product received from the relevant US authorities in its country of origin (USA)?
This product has been certified by Gravitec Laboratories in the United States and complies with ASTM and ANSI national standards for multi-story building descent devices.
Are these certifications reliable?
These are internationally recognized safety certifications.
While the product is heat-resistant and fireproof, I’d like to understand other testing conditions. For example, if the rope is under high tension and gets hit by falling glass, can the device still function?
SkySaver is not a protective shield, so it cannot protect the user from dangers like falling glass when in use. The SkySaver reel has been tested under extreme conditions. It has been frozen at -35°C (-31°F), baked at 80°C (176°F), submerged in crude oil, buried in dust, exposed to flames, and dropped from a height of 6 feet (2 meters) as a free fall. SkySaver has passed all of these tests. The backpack has also been subjected to extreme stress to ensure that the buckles and straps can withstand extreme conditions.
Do I have to use this product only in times of emergency?
Yes, the manufacturer recommends using this product as a last resort during an emergency situation. SkySaver should only be used when alternative exits are not accessible.
Is SkySaver a parachute?
No, SkySaver is not a parachute. It is a controlled descent device equipped with a fire-resistant steel cable that allows the user to descend at a controlled rate of 2 meters/second.
What is the cable made of?
The cable is made of galvanized fire-resistant steel.
Are there safer alternatives or customizable designs for this product?
SkySaver is the safest option when there is no other emergency exit to escape from a disaster. The manufacturer encourages users to use emergency exits whenever possible and reserve SkySaver for life-threatening situations with no other escape options. SkySaver is certified under international standards (ASTM and ANSI) and has passed rigorous testing.
Can I hold a child while descending?
This device is designed for individual use. If your child weighs more than 30 kg (66 lbs), they can wear their own SkySaver device. Parents and children can safely evacuate together from a disaster.
Do I need to wear gloves when using SkySaver?
The SkySaver will lower you to safety without the need for gloves, although wearing gloves might provide additional comfort.
Is there a SkySaver model for use in a 50-story building?
Currently, the longest available cable length is 80 meters (approximately 262 feet), which is not suitable for a 50-story building.
Do I need experience to use the device?
SkySaver was developed by top safety and fire professionals, taking consumer needs into consideration. The product allows anyone to escape an emergency with just three simple steps: wear, clip, and descend.
Where should I anchor the device when using the SkySaver fire escape backpack?
The device’s carabiner should be secured to a pre-installed anchor point.
Will there be a professional to install the anchor point for me?
The company does not provide anchor installation services, and it is strongly recommended to have the anchor point installed by a licensed civil engineer or technician.
If we install the anchor point ourselves, is there any installation guide? How do we test the durability of the hook and the safety of the system?
The manufacturer advises users to follow the provided installation guide and to have the anchor point installed by a licensed civil engineer or technician, who will consider the torque and weight tolerance of different wall materials before installation.
What material should the anchor point be installed on?
The anchor point must be installed on materials that can support enough weight, such as concrete or steel. The manufacturer requires a licensed civil engineer or technician to assess and install the anchor point.
Can other methods replace the anchor point, like hooking the cable to a balcony railing instead of installing the anchor in the wall?
The manufacturer does not recommend this because it cannot guarantee the weight tolerance of the balcony railing. If a certified manufacturer can confirm the railing’s weight capacity meets the device’s standards, it may be used.
What if the wall is wet during the descent?
The SkySaver device is connected to an anchor point installed by professionals who understand anchor bolts and wall materials. Typically, the strongest installation point is near a window, so wet walls are unlikely to affect the anchor's functionality.
What if the concrete wall holding the anchor point is burned down?
It would take a long time for a concrete wall to burn down. In such cases, the SkySaver user would already have descended to safety.
How does the system work to ensure the user descends slowly and not at high speed?
SkySaver has a patented speed control device inside the backpack that regulates descent to 2 meters per second (6 feet per second). This mechanism operates within a weight range of 30-130 kg (66-300 lbs).
How do I stop the device from descending?
The SkySaver device is designed to operate steadily within the weight range of 30-130 kg (66-300 lbs). The user does not need to adjust the descent speed; the device will automatically lower you at a constant rate until you reach the ground, at which point it will stop.
If I’m on the 50th floor, can I use two SkySaver devices for escape?
No, you cannot.
How should the device be maintained or checked, or is it just stored in a closet until needed?
SkySaver requires no maintenance but should be stored in a dry environment and not exposed to extreme temperatures. It comes with a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty. After the warranty period, you can send it back to the manufacturer for a paid inspection and have the warranty renewed if the device passes.
How do I detach the cable after reaching the ground?
After successfully descending from a tall building, the manufacturer recommends unbuckling the backpack straps and immediately leaving the area. Once the fire brigade has cleared the scene, you can seek their assistance to cut the cable, leaving the backpack behind.
What if someone jumps from above or grabs me while I’m descending?
Logically, due to the descent angle and speed, it’s difficult for someone to grab a SkySaver user mid-air. SkySaver is designed to function within a weight range of 30-130 kg (66-300 lbs). If another person jumps from above and exceeds the weight limit, the device will stop operating.
Can the product be reused?
This product is intended for single-use only. The professional cable winding ensures that the device functions perfectly. The manufacturer offers a paid refurbishment and certification service to ensure the device remains intact and undamaged.
Could SkySaver become a mandatory fire escape device for buildings (like fire extinguishers)?
Making this product mandatory in buildings could save many lives. However, implementing this would be a process. In the long term, SkySaver is working to educate the U.S. government about the importance of alternative escape methods, but it is not an immediate priority. The company is currently focused on raising market awareness of how crucial SkySaver is for everyone.
