    The way it is set up it only allows escape from a single floor and more than likely from only 1 appt.

    And you have to climb into the "body bag" before you exit?

    Novel concept but no way one chute going to suffice. And no builder is going to add a separate fire exit at each floor.
    Hard to imagine this being practical.

    That makes far more sense; except being horrendously expensive fabrication compared to sexing trash cans with cut-out bottoms together.
