CMC Rescue Escape Artist
$110.00

Patented
The Most Advanced Escape Descent Control Device Available
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape
The Escape Artist is fast becoming the industry standard, thanks to its single brake design it provides a hands-free edge transition and optimal descent control. When evaluating descenders side by side, many departments prefer the Escape Artist to other alternatives. Intended to be pre-rigged on an escape line and kept ready for immediate use, the Escape Artist pays out the rope smoothly and then locks when loaded, leaving both hands free to negotiate the exit. Squeezing the lever controls the descent rate. Intended for the most extreme conditions, the Escape Artist features all-metal construction and minimal parts to ensure durability and reliable performance. The handle is located inside the side plates to reduce the potential of catching on an edge and to increase mechanical advantage for easier control. The unique design of the double-brake version ensures that if you squeeze the handle too hard, the Escape Artist will slow or stop your descent. The modified cam is designed to work with rope and CMC’s new FR Escape Web.
The Escape Artist uses a wrap-and-a-half of the rope around the cam to activate the auto-locking function. This simple, patented design provides foolproof activation while limiting the forces on the rope in the event of a fall, increasing safety. The cam has been updated with a new flange that extends a full 270° around the circumference, providing better rope guidance and optimizing the design for use with either escape cord or our new FR Escape Web.

Single Brake Or Double Brake — Which Escape Artist Is Right For You?
The original single brake design of the Escape Artist provides a hands-free edge transition and exceptional control on the descent. An important feature with this design is the ease of paying out rope if the anchor point is some distance from the edge. Squeezing the handle fully allows the rope to slide smoothly through the device. However, during a descent the user must release the handle to stop. Squeezing the device in a panic grip allows the user to continue to descend.
The Double Brake Escape Artist operates in a similar manner: the user squeezes the handle to control descent and releases the handle to stop. However, if the descent is too fast and the user panics, squeezing harder on the handle instead of letting up, the Double Brake Escape Artist will slow the descent. This is the only available escape certified descent control device with a double-braking feature. The trade-off is that when a user is letting out rope quickly to cross a room, some skill is required to find the free running spot between too little or too much pressure on the handle.
The choice of which model Escape Artist will work best for your department and personnel depends on their level of training and the protocols that have been established for emergency escape. |
