controlled descent device, descent can be done from
either side of the rope because all of the brakes in
the device work equally in both directions.
"Escape" rigging of a DEUS 3000 Series
controlled descent device
"Escape" rigging means that the DEUS 3000 Series
controlled descent device is set up for the user to
escape or perform a self-rescue from a situation at
an elevated position. It means the descent device is
attached to the harness of the person using it with
a suitable connector so that the user can control
the descent device while descending. When using
"escape" rigging, it is important to position the
descent device within easy reach of the person using
it. The illustrations at right show "escape" rigging of a
