Luckily being 6'6, I can just step over the windowsill and place my foot securely on the pavement below.

That's why you keep repelling gear in a closet by your desk.

Try it and let us know how it goes.

That would be awesome if tomorrow he did need to get out and he climbed down or something.

Sure I could jump out a 7th floor window.


Whether or not I would is a whole other matter. Ain't no way you are going to land jump like that and be anywhere near close to walking away. Besides if there is a fire then the building would have people nd vehicles all over the place so if you jumped there is a good chance you are going to nail one or the other.

Bash out two windows adjacent to a structural column, tie the firehose around that column and go for it. h: Beats dying of smoke inhalation.

That would be my choice. If I had to drop two stories to the ground I could deal with it. Jumping 7 stories and expecting to live is kinda some weak odds.

Did it when I was a lot younger, even on some cliff sides of several hundred feet. CLEAR!!!
