    "One of my favorites is the parachute hat you could keep stored in a closet by the window, along with rubber overshoes to soften the inevitable hard landing."

    I recently stayed at the Orakai Insadong Suites in Seoul. The fire escape was a grappling hook in a hard plastic case under the bed. Our suite was on the 19th floor.
