re: Very bizarre and random thought regarding working in a very tall building post 9/11

The average person would be much better off with 1,000ft of static rope and a harness/carabiner/figure 8.

BASE jump rigs are not cheap, $4k for a canopy and container.

BASE jumping from buildings in a city poses all sorts of problems for an experienced BASE jumper. Probably 99.99% of people just using it to jump out of a burning building would die most never getting their canopy inflated.

I have over 40 static line jumps, over 300 sport canopy jumps an 11 BASE jumps and unless I could get to the roof, and it had a place to get a running jump from the edge (they don't) I would die another way.
