Safety - A priority in Mammoth

The 'Mammoth' is fully Bus Code Compliant. The coach meets with latest safety standards and has a total of 8 emergency exits including EM-Secure making evacuation safe and panic free in case of an emergency situation.

EMERGENCY EXITS IN MAN MAMMOTH

The patented EM-Secure safety exit is the World's first unique rear emergency exit which is revolutionizing road safety and setting new benchmarks. Traditionally, the emergency exit door is always in the right hand sidewall towards the rear end, blocked by a row of 2 seats in the front, making it time consuming and hazardous to use in the unfortunate event of an emergency. Aside from this the height of the wall of the exit is 5 feet off the ground, making it difficult and dangerous, especially for children and the elderly. The EM-Secure solution provides a clear and well marked emergency exit located at the rear end of the 'Mammoth' which is easily approachable and unhindered by any obstructions. A manually ejected stairway built with assist handle to provide support while descending allows passengers of all age groups to evacuate the coach unharmed as the height between the last step and the ground is less than two feet.
