 Very difficult to use and climb on safely. July 2, 2010

I tested this item from our second story window as soon as I got it home. First of all the rungs became entangled with the nylon straps when I released the velcro handle, had to pull the ladder up to correct it. The way it hooks over the window sill was not sturdy at all, and tended to shift dangerously when weight was put on the first rung. Just placing my foot on the first rung was a challenge in daylight with no emergency occurring, it just doesn't protrude from the wall far enough. I am athletic and of normal height/weight, but clambering down this ladder had me fearing a fall and I crawled back through the window before I got below the second rung. I returned the product to the store and will have to find some other way to egress our home in an emergency.
Hope I never need it.... May 17, 2010

I purchased this fire ladder for my three-story house. With two little ones, God forbid we ever need it. I didn't unpack the ladder since it's packed so neatly in the box. I am tempted to unpack it and try it out to see how well it works, but I am afraid I won't get it packed back in the box as neatly. The ladder is definitely well-made (I did unpack the window brace to see how it unfolds/fits).
We had a fire in my parents' house when I was 19, and the fire started on the roof, so everyone was able to get out of the house safely through the front door.
Fire safety is important to me. As I said earlier,I hope and pray I never need to use this ladder, but I feel more secure knowing I have another option to get out of the house if I need it.
 Very important to have! May 1, 2010

An escape ladder is very important to have in rooms that are 2nd story or higher. This ladder is very affordable and sufficient to allow the access needed to escape through a window to avoid being burned or having to jump. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007OAPT0/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Easy to access unfolds without difficulty, seems very sturdy. Make sure you take it out of the box wrappings so it is ready to use in a hurry. fits right back in box.

I hope my son and family never need it, but it's better than buying a life insurance policy. If after the fact, who cares about, "What could I have done?"
