A system for the evacuation of individuals from a first, elevated level to a second, lower level by gliding down a rescue sleeve. The system comprises a sleeve ( 22 ) made of cloth or the like material having an entrance end located at the first level and an exit end located at the second level. A series of equidistanced rigid reinforcing rings ( 24 ) embrace the sleeve ( 22 ). Elongated spacers ( 28 ) are provided, fastened at one end thereof to one of the rings ( 24 ) and at their other end to a centrally extending cable ( 26 ). One end of the sleeve ( 22 ) is rotated relative to the other end about the cable ( 26 ) so that the sleeve becomes coiled around it at a distance defined by the elongated spacers ( 28 ).
