Petzl EXO system

[DrewB]

another piece of kit........

Designed to be an emergency descent system originally for firemen to exit a burning building-were looking at it as an emergency descent from bucket truck, MEWP etc.. in case of bee attack etc.. no idea of cost and im sure it can be made cheaper BUT it does look nice wrapped up in its own little bag. apparently all New York fire fighters now carry them on there harness'. all the components are heat proof too.

We hope to be demo-ing something very similar in the next few weeks...

Hanging from such a 5.5mm cord could prove 'interesting' first time round!
