Strongly disagree. I think the implicit premise here is that you’d know for sure you were going to die if you didn’t jump/parachute. That’s the only time you’d use it.

I work in a high rise but I have a helicopter on my helipad at all times. I'm also a licensed helicopter pilot.

So you’ve studied the building blueprints and have training in fire/rescue that would allow you to adequately assess the situation and come to a determination that the ONLY way out is to jump from the roof?

If you’ve done all that, then by all means, go calmly put on your rig, find an exit point, and jump away.






We can just laugh about this though, because ain’t nobody going to buy a rig, happen to have it accessible to them when the time comes, and actually be stuck in a high rise fire. If they are, then they need to land in the parking lot of the nearest 7/11, walk straight in and buy a lottery ticket.
