An escape device including a woven fabric shaped rope installed in the inner space of a housing board, a braking member including a resistant frame, a handle, and a plurality of resistant rods spaced apart by compressing springs between the rods, the braking member provided to reduce the lowering speed of the device and a harness consisting of a waist belt and a bottom belt is provided. The device is used for safely lowering a person from high altitudes, such as a hotel, apartment, hospital or commercial building, onto the ground. The outside surface of the housing board may be configured to install a painting, picture or clock so that the housing board can be used as a displaying flame when the device is hung on the wall of room. The housing may be in the shape of any type of animal or cartoon character so that a user is familiar with it. The woven fabric rope defines one rope and is released by pulling one end of the rope. The releasing rope from the woven fabric passes through the resistant rods and the handle in the shape of a zig-zag for creating maximum resistance between the rope and the resistant rods. When a user pushes down the handle, the lowering speed decreases because the gaps among the rods are narrow and the resistance between the rope and the resistant rods increases. The lowering speed increases when the user lifts the handle because the gaps among the rods are widen and the resistance decreases. The rods are positioned under the handle, vertically parallel each other, and perpendicular to the rope.
