An inflatable evacuation device includes an inflatable slide portion and an inflatable arch-shaped support portion for supporting the inflatable slide portion. The inflatable slide portion has a support frame with a first inflatable elongate beam and a second inflatable elongate beam spaced from the first inflatable elongate beam. A floor extends between the first and second inflatable elongate beams and is constructed of a flexible material. The inflatable arch-shaped support portion comprising first and second inflatable curved beams connected to the inflatable slide portion such that forces generated at least at a central region of the inflatable slide portion are transferred to the curved beams to thereby support at least the central region.
