Abstract
An inflatable fire escape slide device is provided. The device is comprised of an inflatable slide system designed for emergency evacuations from buildings. The device comprises a body made of two halves connected by at least one hinge or similar fastener. One of the halves can be attached to a windowsill using a spring-loaded slam latch to secure the device to a windowsill during use. An inflatable slide housed within the body can be deployed and inflated by a spring-loaded release mechanism activated by pulling a string, which allows compressed air to exit a compression chamber, thus inflating the slide rapidly. The slide includes a protective tarp at its base to prevent damage and absorb the impact of users after sliding down the slide from a building window to a ground surface.
