Escape Tip® Vehicle Safety System™

THE DEVICE

The Escape Tip® Vehicle Safety System™, covered by US patent 6,219,890, as well as other patents pending, is a system of safety devices which are integrated on to the male ends of seatbelt buckles and allow people who are trapped in vehicles to facilitate their own escape.  Egression Technologies also has patents pending on retrofit devices which will afford the same level of protection in the millions of vehicles already traveling the roadways.
 

Some of the many benefits of the system are:
 

·         Providing all people trapped in vehicles with the means to break a side window and exit through the opening, when, and only when, they are ready.

·         Providing the necessary tools at all exterior seating positions.

·         Providing positive identification on all seatbelts equipped with the tool, through the use of “Escape Tip® Equipped”™ labels.

·         Providing the tools in known and consistent locations within all Escape Tip® Equipped™ vehicles.

·         Passengers are not dependant upon access to the glove box, or other driver oriented locations, where an automotive hammer or other tool might be stored.

·         The Tools can not become lost or misplaced in vehicle roll-over accidents.

·         Occupants’ seatbelts must be removed before the Tools can be used.

·         The Tools are already in the hands of trapped occupants and ready for use after simply taking off their seatbelts.

·         Providing a means of exit from a submerged vehicle.

·         Providing a means of exit when a vehicle’s doors are jammed, due to an accident or other incident.

·         Providing a means of exit when a vehicle’s rear doors are locked via the child safety locks, which are currently mandated in all new passenger vehicles.

·         Using the product is simple and near fail safe. 

·         The Tools can’t “go off” accidentally or prematurely.

·         The Tools do not interfere with normal operation of the seatbelts.

·         The Tools are simple to manufacture with no moving parts.

·         The Tools have very nominal manufacturing costs.

·         Providing the automotive industry with possible isolation from claims of product defect.

·         The Tools will save innocent lives.
 

The public should demand inclusion of the Escape Tip® Vehicle Safety System™ in all new vehicles
and its rapid adoption by the automotive industry.
