An evacuation system may comprise an evacuation slide configured to be deployed from an aircraft, first strap coupled to the evacuation slide, a second strap coupled to the evacuation slide, and a releasable restraint extending through the first strap and the second strap, the releasable restraint comprising a first stem connected to a first bead and a second stem connected to a second bead, where a diameter of the second stem is different from a diameter of the first stem.

An inflatable water exit ramp system including swim up entry ramp to enable quadruped to exit a body of water having a depth.

The evacuation assembly may include an evacuation slide having a head portion, a toe portion, a longitudinal axis, a top surface, and a bottom surface. In various embodiments, the longitudinal axis extends centrally along a length of the evacuation slide from the head portion to the toe portion. In various embodiments, a top perimetrical length of the top surface of the toe portion of the evacuation slide in a width direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is less than a bottom perimetrical length of the bottom surface of the toe portion of the evacuation slide in the width direction.

A swim platform for attachment to a boat includes a rearwardly tapered inflatable body including a top surface capable of supporting a standing person, an outer perimeter including a forward wall, an aft wall, and a port sidewall and a starboard sidewall extending between the forward wall and aft wall. The forward wall is positionable adjacent the transom. The forward wall is longer than the aft wall and is configured not to extend laterally beyond the starboard and port sides at the transom. The swim platform may be left in the water while the boat is moving and is designed not to interfere with the boat's wake.

A releasable restraint for an inflatable slide is disclosed, in accordance with various embodiments. The releasable restraint may comprise a first mating portion having a receptacle. The releasable restraint may comprise a second mating portion having a protrusion. The protrusion may be configured to fit within the receptacle. An adjustment fastener may be coupled to the receptacle and configured to adjust a coupling strength of the releasable restraint.

An evacuation assembly of an aircraft may include an evacuation slide and a sheet coupled to the evacuation slide. The sheet may be deployable in a negative lift configuration and a canopy configuration. In the negative lift configuration, the sheet may extend across at least a portion of an underside of the evacuation slide. In the canopy configuration, the sheet may extend over at least a portion of a top side of the evacuation slide. The evacuation assembly may also include a support that is coupled to and extends between the top side of the evacuation slide and the sheet in response to the sheet being in the canopy configuration.

An inflatable evacuation slide for evacuating people from a first structure to a second structure is disclosed. The slide comprises: at least three longitudinal beams, including two lateral lower beams and an upper beam, spaced apart transversally over their length and substantially parallel to each other in the inflated state, each beam comprising at least one inflatable longitudinal tube; and a plurality of inflatable lateral panels connected to said upper beam and to said lateral lower beams. The inflatable longitudinal tubes may comprise a braid tube. The inflatable lateral panels may comprise drop stitch material. Each of the inflatable longitudinal tubes may include at least one end plate for closing an end of the tube.

A swim platform for attachment to a boat includes a rearwardly tapered inflatable body including a top surface capable of supporting a standing person, an outer perimeter including a forward wall, an aft wall, and a port sidewall and a starboard sidewall extending between the forward wall and aft wall. The forward wall is positionable adjacent the transom. The forward wall is longer than the aft wall and is configured not to extend laterally beyond the starboard and port sides at the transom. The swim platform may be left in the water while the boat is moving and is designed not to interfere with the boat's wake.

A restraint arrangement for an evacuation system may comprise a first strap configured to be disposed along a length of the evacuation system, and a second strap configured to be disposed along the length of the evacuation system, wherein the first strap is coupled to the second strap, the first strap is coupled to the evacuation system via a first plurality of attachment members along the length of the evacuation system, the second strap is coupled to the evacuation system via a second plurality of attachment members along the length of the evacuation system, and the first strap is configured to separate from the second strap in response to a predetermined load.

A canopy support for an inflatable evacuation device may comprise a first canopy support segment and a second canopy support segment configured to fit at least partially within the first canopy support segment when the canopy support is in a stowed state and configured to interlock with the first canopy support segment in an extended position when the canopy support is in a deployed state. The first canopy support segment may include a first interlocking portion. The second canopy support segment may include a second interlocking portion. The second interlocking portion may be configured to mate with the first interlocking portion.
