Escape

Ikea has joined forces with tiny house firm Escape to produce a tiny house on wheels. Appropriately named the Ikea Tiny Home Project, the 187-sq-ft model is filled with Ikea products and can run off-the-grid thanks to roof-based solar panels.

While it's a good idea for people with upstairs bedrooms to have a collapsible fire escape ladder handy, quickly finding and deploying the thing could be difficult in a smoke-filled home. That's where the Rescue Ready Retrofit is designed to come in.

Escape's latest project offers a trio of non-towable dwellings that are suitable for multiple uses, including a shed, cabin, and workspace.

The Escape Belt causes your seat belt to release when exposed to water.

Aerospace firm Blue Origin has conducted a successful pad escape test, in which a full-scale crew capsule was ejected from a launch vehicle simulator.

The Rescue System from Escape Rescue Systems lowers cabins over the side of a building that can transport rescue personnel up the building and evacuate building tenants down.
