I can't find their website, but a company in Tucson was just on the local noon news. They are selling "building escape systems" for $1000/pop -- and it basically boils down to small round parachutes packed in brief cases for clients who work or stay in high-rise offices and hotels. They can't keep up with demand -- unbelievable!
I read a similar article a couple weeks ago (Can't find the link either). In that article, they quoted some expert types saying there is absolutely ZERO chance one of those parachutes would actually work.
