Abstract
An evacuation slide may comprise an arched tube configured to extend between a first side tube and a second side tube of the evacuation slide and a strap configured to be coupled between the arched tube and a center tube of the evacuation slide. The arched tube may be configured to provide vertical support to the first side tube and to the second side tube in response to a tension in the strap. The evacuation slide may comprise a dual lane slide, the first side tube and the center tube defining a first lane and the second side tube and the center tube defining a second lane.
