ABSTRACT:
A solution is supposed to be achieved with a rappelling device (1) for permitting persons (3) to be rescued from high buildings, towers, and the like, having a suspension strap (2), suspension vest, or the like, to be worn by the person in question, wherein a rope container (8) having a device to release the rope length (4) is provided on the suspension strap (2), which solution is supposed to be easy to operate, on the one hand, and to be made available to the persons in question at any time, and easy to handle for them, whereby the person using the device can essentially move both hands freely, in a stable rappelling position.This is achieved in that the rope drum (7) that forms the rope container (8), in the wearing position on the back of the person using the device, is provided with a rope guide device (13) for passing the rope to a release position in the chest region of the person using the device.
