Land line

If you're working or living on higher floors, you may want to interest the owners of your building in the Alongo "Happy Landing Zipline". The product is a combination of three parts - the Cable Machine that is anchored on the roof of the building, the Safety Belt, worn by the person fleeing the building, and a Slide Hook - which regulates the person's speed as they slide down the cable (which stretches between the Cable Machine on the roof and an anchor point on the ground). There's a video of the system in use here; or images on the Gizmodo site.
