Taking a brief moment from all the weightier stuff, Mythbusters tested whether a dude could tie a rope (or firehose) around himself, leap from a roof, and shoot out a window on a floor below before he crashed through it.
Bottom line, you can, with certain parameters (no more than two stories, and some form of braking mechanism to soften the whiplash).
The finished by having one of their guys actually do it, shooting a window with a pellet pistol and crashing through it.
Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Okay, back to the weightier matters.
