You'd figure money like that could afford the best police service in the world!!!

This is how it starts. First Science creates buildings that twist and turn on their own, then a zombie outbreak kills everybody.

I don't suppose anyone thought about what happens when a fire breaks out in the center of the building? You know...the only way out?

I would keep a parachute under my desk, a hammer to break the glass and hope I was high enough up for the 'chute to do its thing.

What would make that plan hilarious is if you jumped, and the floor two stories down rotated into your trajectory and you just splatted.

If it were only two floors I probably wouldn't splat... I might break a leg or something, but I'm sure I'd survive.

You'd figure the floors would lock in the event of an emergency. Then again, this thing was designed and built by a guy who's never made a building before so, y'know, anything's possible!

Perhaps, but the wind would cause your still-attached parachute to hook on to the wind mills in between each floor, shown in the video, and you'd be drug around in circles.

At that point I would release from my parachute and fly with my bird-like arms!
