 - MisleadingIt is an Avis Strap style material... like a very thin seat belt. It will burn, and can be cut/ripped if damaged. On the package it says STEEL is tested for 1125#, but IN the package is says not to exceed 375 pounds. The rungs are strong but the strapping is weak. The rest of the family can burn or jump while Dad carries one to safety. That is, if it doesn't decay, or be attacked by moths and mold before we need to use it. Nice. Other ladders are all steel and a better deal. I'm disappointed First Alert has to revert to misleading sales gimmicks to unload these products. Technical Details Easy to use 2-story 14-foot fire escape ladder Fully assembled, ready to use --> Strong steel construction, tested to 1,125 lbs DuPont Cordura nylon strapping for extra strength and maximum durability. Complies to ASTM standards; 6-year limited warranty Rating:  - haven't used it yet (and hopefully never will!)haven't used it, but it looks easy to use and glad to have it. it's heavy duty. Rating:  - Emergency escape ladderI ordered this with some trpidation - afraid of the thick walls of the building - not knowing how the hooks might work - was delighted to find that they hooked handily and sturdily to the radiator. If you can climb out a window - you can use this ladder. Rating: - Best deal for the money...I like this product because it is easy to use and it's sturdy. Just make sure you don't have a window directly beneath the window you are climbing out of. If you do, this product won't work because you would be putting too much pressure on the window on the lower level and could possibly break it. But, the product itself is great. Perfect for my situation. Rating: - Excellent and easyThis escape ladder is great! It folds up nicely, and can be stored in its own box. My children, twins age 14, were able to practice fire drills, and easily fold it back up in the box. It is invaluable knowing my kids can get out safely from a second floor room. More over, the price made it very affordable.
