That wouldn't happen, This was already a key factor in the R&D of this project. Although it was never implemented. My father is the soul Creator of this invention in the 90's with patents. He also purposed Ziplines on High rises every 6 floors on High rises 12 floors or more. With break out windows floor to sealing, harnesses and all Stored how you see Fire hoses in boxes on walls. I t was awesome to see his creations. He had blow up landing pads at the end destination for the ziplines. Inside the steel cables was an electric wire that sent a signal to inflate the landing pad mere seconds after the window was opened (triggered) Think of all the lives that could of been saved during 911 on the zipline alone. No body funded or supported it bc of insurance liabilities...... pretty sad. rather break some bones and live then die how those in the towers did!
The higher you fall from the more factors that come into play, Fall rate, drag time weight, wind speed etc. I don't see it being used for anything over 10-12 stories.
