Although today there are safety laws in place requiring buildings to have accessible entrance and exit for handicapped people, there are still some cases in which wheelchair users and people with other disabilities may need to use stairs to exit an area. For example, in the case of a power failure or a fire, elevators may become unusable. In these instances, it becomes imperative to provide a way for handicapped people to quickly and safely exit the building.
Intelligent design
Evacuation chairs have been designed for this purpose, providing convenient and safe emergency transport down stairs and to safety. Evac chairs are built with various features, but all are designed with the utmost safety of the user in mind.
