In an emergency, affected personnel simply proceed to the rear of the racking board, disconnect from any fall arrest device, enter the escape chute feet-first, and slide to safety.

The FoxxHole™ system provides the fastest evacuation available in the industry. For example, travel time from a triple drilling rig 33.0 m (108 ft) high, between the racking board and termination point 46m (150 ft) away, is less than 8 seconds. For Snubbing units or Single & Double rigs the evacuation time
> is proportionally shorter, to as little a 2 seconds.

The FoxxHole™ system can be used by any worker in any gear. A person in full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including escape air packs used in H2S environments, can quickly and safely use it.

The FoxxHole™ system also addresses high angle rescue needs. Its large hoop-type configuration readily accepts a smooth base basket stretcher, allowing incapacitated personnel to be lowered to ground level on a controlled safety line, while sheltered within. This capability greatly reduces rescue time & complexity, and also, evacuee anxiety.
