The Ingström Escape Chute® is a patented device developed by Stig B. Ingström, a Finnish-Swede inventor based in Sweden. The chute is manufactured in conformance to its performance as \"escape chute\" tested by The Josef Tuliszkowski Scientific and Research Centre for Fire Protection, Warsaw, Poland, for the purpose of evacuating people from 2-storey up to high rise buildings in the case of fire, earthquake, terrorism or any other catastrophe. The Ingström Escape Chute® is constructed from fire resistant materials of EU origin that protect evacuees inside the chute from fire effects during fire evacuation. It is not a substitute or replacement for any fixed fire escape, fire suppression or fire detection device. Rather, it offers another dimension of safety and precaution by providing a passage to safety for threatened victims when other means of escape may be damaged or inaccessible. It is designed to permit escape where existing fire exit measures are incapable of providing a safe method due to inherent limitations in design, construction, mobility or availability. Today, Ingström Escape Chute® is recognised by many fire authorities as a hardware solution to correct egress deficiencies and to increase egress capacity in old buildings where it is not possible to provide fire escapes or increase the size of existing stairways in its structure.
