Ralph T. Baker
Ralph Baker's invention of the Life Chute was inspired by the M.G.M. Grand Hotel fire in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 1980 blaze claimed 84 lives and left hundreds of guests helplessly trapped on the hotel's upper floors. When Baker saw this tragedy, he vowed to do something about it.

"A lot of people wait for bad things to happen, then try to figure out what to do," says Baker. "Not me. When I see a problem in the making, I try to head it off before it can occur." This philosophy led to Baker's invention of the Baker Life Chute.
