Optional Exit

Have the option to use a slide from your floor at office or apartment building instead of waiting on an elevator. Have maintenance workers slide down the enclosed, all-weather tubes once an hour or so with dust-attracting suits so that your business suit doesn't get filthy. Have a covered area at the bottom to open umbrellas and gather yourself. More practical than waterslides (see link), which put a damp-er (bad pun intended)on your attire. You have to buy insurance to use this, b/c some idiots will implale themselves on their umbrella. Use your insurance card to activate the entrance door to the slide. This door also allows for a time delay to give time for previous occupants to remove themselves from harm's way. If this sounds jumbled, it's b/c I was thinking it out as I was typing it. Judge the idea, not the presentation.
