You DO have a base jumping rig stashed in your high rise corporate office in case of a terror attack, don’t you anon??

>>63885242 (OP)
I'd need to get a high rise corporate office first

>>63885242 (OP)
You can't open windows in most high rises

>>63885274
If he went to all that effort I'd assume he's also packing a tool to break the highrise window.

>>63885242 (OP)
This guy has 50 lbs of rope and a harness stashed away on an office with unbreakable windows so he can somehow escape a terror attack? Fake and gay

>>63885274
>>63885291
Yeah just shoot them

>>63885320
>with unbreakable windows
Where does it say the windows are unbreakable

>>63885332
The building code. Hi-rises have incredibly strong windows so they aren't constantly being fucked up by storm debris, and so that falling glass doesn't present a safety hazard to people below if someone throws a chair in a heated office debate. Breaking one is not trivial.

>>63885381
A man who spent all that time and money developing an escape plan presumably has breaking the glass as a factor.
Not like he'll get punished for whatever he does in that scenario no matter how extreme.

>>63885320
>>63885381
You are aware roofs are a thing, right?

>>63885242 (OP)
No, I am not as based as that guy.

>>63885300
More like his nylon parachute gets fucked by urban wind patterns and he smacks into a glass panel at 30 mph. Or the fire melts his parachute.

At least he'll get more camera time than the other jumpers.

High rise glass is double paned and designed to NOT break easily.
Shits tough as woodpecker lips.

>>63885381
There used to be a guy who would throw himself up against the windows of his highrise office to prove how strong they were. He broke through one of the windows and fell to his death. I think you're greatly overestimating how well put together those buildings are.

It's still pretty easy to break if you actually want to do it

>>63885468
Nevermind that the roof access hatch is most assuredly locked to prevent retards from being up there and/or jumping off.

>>63885242 (OP)
Always preparing to fight the last war.

>>63885654
Exploding scooters are much harder to defend against while remaining inconspicuous.

>>63885498
It's not that the window broke in that scenario, it became dislodged and the whole pane fell

>>63885466
Yep, better to not ever do anything at all and just die in every plausibly survivable situation. Because you know what never dies? Pathological cynicism.

just shoot the window out?

While I find the idea stupid because it's another retard prepping for the 0.001% chance he gets to use a steel plate briefcase to deflect a terrorist bullet and then base jump from 9/11 2 while certainly neglecting basic things that will actually probably help in life, most of the anons here are just as bad. Yes skyscraper windows are tough, but at the end of the day they're mass produced glass and given the right combo will absolutely break. Base jumping above an aircraft impact site absolutely is dangerous, but to dismiss it as impossible is dumb.

>>63885864
It's not being dismissed for being impossible, it's dismissed for being a retarded fantasy.

>>63885893
>dismissed for being a retarded fantasy
As it should be, but there's several anons who've smugly pointed out why it wouldn't/can't work, for reasons that Agent Anon in the OP could work around given a bit of prep

>>63885274

Jumping to your death isn't plausible survivability.

>>63885864
If you work in an office, the only CC you should be packing is your lawyer's business card since the vast majority of threats you will face are the social kind since life is not an action movie.

>>63885864

Just go to the fucking front door at that point.

>>63885864
I wonder if that guy keeps any water or a first aid kit in his car.

>>63886188
A decent janitor has to know how to troubleshoot and fix a wide variety of things. That's a high bar for brown people and most people in general.

>>63886256
lmao /k/ tops out at mop bitch

>>63885497
Yeah there's "Not break easily" in the context of >Oh shit I knocked a guy carrying something heavy and it slammed into the glass, good thing it didn't break!
And then there's
>I am a 6ft tall man using all my strength to strike it repeatedly with a blunt steel tool
Unless it's the REAL stuff they use for HMMVV windows or some shit then it's not going to last more than a few strikes

>>63885497
>move desk to window, narrow side of desk facing window
>lift swivel office chair onto desk with the chair resting on it's back
>slide the chair down the desk surface so the castors slam into the glass
It works well with the nice heavy steelcase chairs that office towers often use.

>>63886260

>>63886006

I had always planned to get something like this if I ever worked in a high rise.

Fun fact about Garry Hoy, he drove a Ferrari, and was banging his secretary who was devastated by his death. By all accounts she was a hot blonde.

>>63885242 (OP)

Much more likely to be a plain old fire.
But anon would be better served living a healthy lifestyle and cutting down on unnecessary risks rather than preparing for a second 9/11

>>63885274
>>63885497
true but not like its a impossible problem, you can prepare tool, from axes/saws to just a hydraulic jack. its layer glued/foiled glass. buy a sheet test your skill. if you are at that level this is a logical step.

>>63885626
Also, the stairwell is going to be packed with people going DOWN. One idiot ...wearing a parachute... and going up is going to get mobbed and murdered.

>>63885497
Will it hold up to a heavy office chair hurled with full retard strength, multiple times if need be?

>>63886630
There's that famous anecdote of an exec that liked to show off how strong the windows on his building were by running full force into them. It eventually failed because repeating the stunt for years and years had weakened the seal holding the glass in place and he went out the side of the building with the intact window.

All that to say, I wouldn't count on it in an emergency.

>muh 9/11
Terrorists are not the main danger here, fire is
If the fire is above you, great, you just run down the stairs
If the fire is below you however, you might not have that option. The situation getting bad enough that base jumping off the building is your best bet is of course very unlikely, but not impossible and I think more likely than someone trying to bomb your office

if you don't have a 0/0 ejection seat with canopy detcord you WILL die

You don't even need a rig. Just get a rigger belt, a couple of solid carabines and some rope, if you rely completely on yourself.
Hardest part would be detter others from following you down, while you still hanging

It's a bit like having parachutes in a civilian passenger plane. Average injury/death rate will be higher so it's a shitty idea.
The OP scenario is even worse because most of the time you can just use the stairs. You have to be absolutely sure you don't have any other options before you dress up like a flying squirrel and jump out the window.

Due to this thread, I googled "How to break highrise window". First result was a reddit post asking how much force it would take to jump out one. Someone asked the OP if they were ok, OP launched into a sob story about how his life is in the gutter, his gf left him, etc. I click on his profile and basically all his posts are about how he's suicidal because she discovered his opiate addiction. Last post is from 6 years ago with him getting arrested. I guess the loser actually went through with it lmao. Redditors are such pathetic faggots.

I would suggest going to a showroom and sitting in one for starters. Some places have loaner chairs you can bring home and test for a few days and I’d ask a staff member on tips how to adjust it or read the manual.
