This Cool Concept Will Let You Escape A Fire Like A SWAT Commando

Jonathan Lowe — a product design student from Staffordshire University in the UK — came up with Xitus, a clever gadget that helps you escape from a building on fire when the only way out is trough the window. Place it on the edge of the window, climb over and a controlled descent device will take you to the ground gently.

Xitus is a brilliant idea and I hope it moves quickly from a concept design to a real product.
