What is Skid?

Skid is an evacuation chair, that is a chair that allows a single person, without effort or technical training, to carry another one up or down a staircase (two people are required to go up).

Evacuation chairs are an increasingly popular device, the importance of which has become tragically evident with events of September 11, 2001, which showed that their presence can not be considered a luxury but an absolute necessity - in all places that do not want to discriminate anybody in terms of a quick and safe evacuation.

The stair-chairs have a low cost, do not require periodic onerous reviews, and are a clear sign of the attention of the structures to the accessibility and the elimination of architectural barriers.

Where is Skid needed?

In any multi-level building, is good to remember that the lifts - if they are - can break down or be turned off for safety reasons or maintenance.

Who is responsible for security in these buildings, must provide an alternative solution for the transportation of people who are - even temporarily - unable to ambulation.

Many nations have imposed or are imposing laws for the installation of evacuation chairs in workplaces, schools, and structures that register a significant passage of people.
