Imagine 200 people all jumping at the same time, people jumping when they just smell a little smoke, people fighting over a parachute in a busy meeting room...

The easy solution: lower buildings, better exits, no more 100+ buildings, whether it was a plane or a fire in the middle, the higher it gets the lower the chance of escaping.
