Hospital Boasts Safety Chute
The Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Ga. is equipped with a spiral chute by means of which bed-ridden patients can reach the ground quickly in the event of fire. On each floor of the hospital there is an entrance to the chute and in an emergency the patients are slid down it on a mattress.

The college I attended had these on several buildings. The temptation was so great to try them out. Imagine 5 story slides on every building.
