SpaceDev uses the ROC™ Vertical Rescue System

"We used the ROC™ Vertical Rescue System as a safety mechanism while flight testing the world's first hybrid rocket-powered lunar lander prototype. The device was critical in protecting very expensive hardware, and it worked perfectly."

Comments from firefighters who have used the
ROC™ Vertical Rescue System

"When you need to bail out, you don't have a lot of time to think and it's easy to make mistakes. This will save lives because it is simple and panic proof."

"The ease-of-use is great: just turn the knob to control the speed. Or, use it hands-free and speed is limited to about 3 meters per second."

"It has four independent brakes for quadruple redundancy. I like the extra sense of confidence and safety in an emergency."

"This thing is built firefighter-tough. We beat the crap out of our equipment and it is nice to see a bailout system that is really built for firefighters."

"Lightweight, small, functional, very easy to use. With this, you can get three people down from a 4th floor window in less than a minute."

"This is fun to train with. Very smooth. Once it's anchored and hooked to my harness, it gives me complete freedom to just get out as fast as I can because I don't have to hold on to it. Let's go again, and go higher!"

"The fire rope is amazing: fire-, cut-, abrasion- and chemical-resistant. And the training rope makes training economical."
