The safety system includes sensors that stop the stair lift if an object is detected in the lifts path, a seatbelt for added security, and brakes that will stop the stair lift should something go wrong with the drive system. The swivel seat ensures an easy, safe transition from sitting to standing positions at the top landing. The seat locks in place when it's swiveled away from the staircase and when it's returned to the operating position, to ensure the seat does not swivel during the ride. Constant pressure controls make sure the stair lift will stop if you remove your fingers during the ride.
