I think you're vastly underestimating how much infrastructure costs. Like orders of magnitude times of orders of magnitude.
I think you're grossly over-estimating what qualifies as infrastructure in a place where this is a public road. That said, it was a joke.

Many people die in that road every year in Bolivia. It is known as " The death road" or "Carretera de la muerte".

Fantastic. Now I know not to go to Bolivia. Thank you!
Or maybe just avoid that road in particular.

Agreed. Not a single dangerous weight shift or slide.

I think there was a slide, just as the back wheels cleared the hump and he turned into it. Either way he took a big gamble.
Wet loose gravel and mud, lurching weight on a bus, if he played poker I'd rinse him.

Ugh why do I have to pay taxes? What's the government ever done for me? *drives through mountains safely on actual road*
You realize that there were roads before governments, yes? Good roads do not require government.

A possibly better idea would be equipment and infrastructure on the building to support rappelling out from any side, at various heights. /1
Should work even if the building is tipping - you could even detach from a higher rope if the top is now unsafe and clip on a lower point
ImUglyIRL
They probably don't do that because 500 people parachuting at once isn't very safe. I don't see another way of saving people though, so..
Jburli24
Possibly because the likelihood of needing one is very low, and it'd cost money
Firemen have those big trampolines but I don't know if there's a height limit on those or not.
Yeah

Surely with everyone jumping out there would be fuck ups where people slam into each other knocking the air out of their parachutes
Leading to them dying from the long fall down rather than fire. Also they would all have to be trained in the use of a parachute
And take regular fresher courses which would cost money to the company but ensure safety of employees. Also it could be a fun thing so
I don’t know. You could figure out some sort of system where everyone jumps out at intervals with space in between. Also updrafts from the
