don\'t you need a minimum ammount of height to allow for it to fully open, then enough for it to slow them down?

To me, that building doesn\'t look anywhere near high enough

Yes.
Anything else is base jumping and extremely dangerous without proper training and equipment.

I know someone who cleans windows for a living, I\'m going to tell him what you said.

Sod it, he\'s as thick as pig shit anyway, he probably wouldn\'t understand what you meant by it.

They are tied off with a seperate cable from the basket. It is attached to the roof and will allow the person to dangle (if the basket fell) until rescued.

Also the brace which suspends the window washer cart completely malfunctioned and bent which then gave the basket way too much slack and the winds just proceeded to push the basket around.

The company that sent these people out to wash windows in the windy conditions should be getting there pee-pee\'s slapped.
