LIFELINE® SKI
MINING DIRECTIONAL ROPE GUIDANCE SYSTEM
LIFELINE® SKI is a mining directional rope guidance system that consists of 8mm braided rope mounted to the rock face (either on the side wall or the roof), which will specifically define the recommended escape route in a mine. A series of angles directional cones are fixed to the rope. The cones are manufactured in such a way that when LIFELINE® is being used, personnel are able to walk only in the direction of safety. The directional cones are fixed at 10m intervals over the span of the mining evacuation system.
Two options are available namely side-wall installation and roof installation.
The installation of LIFELINE® provides directional guidance in mines and enables escapees to maintain balance, speed of escape, and maximum travelling distance to the Self-Contained Self- Rescuer (SCSR).
The results show that with the LIFELINE® Evacuation Escape System, escape walking speed can be maintained. The average escape speed with LIFELINE® is 1.09m per second, representing a speed excess of 75% of that observed during normal conditions of visibility.
A simple mine rope can be a lifeline in an emergency in underground mines. Investing in these rope systems for underground mines is a vital part of your safety systems. Speak to us about our emergency rope guidance systems.

Why Lifeline Ski?
- The mining directional rope guiding system LIFELINE® SKI is made of 8mm braided rope.
- It will specifically define the recommended escape route in a mine.
- When using LIFELINE® SKI, miners can only move in the direction of safety since the cones that are tied to the rope are designed in that way.
- Along the length of the mining evacuation system, directed cones are set at intervals of 10 metres.
- The installation of LIFELINE® SKI gives miners directional assistance and allows escapees to keep their balance, escape speed, and maximum travel distance to the Self-Contained Self- Rescuer (SCSR).
- The average escape speed with LIFELINE® is 1.09 m/s, which is more than 75% of the speed seen under typical visibility circumstances.
