Completely unnecessary. If you are ever in that situation, climb out of
the window and hang on to the window cill with arms at full extent and
let go. You are only four feet off the ground in most situations.
Injuries likely to be nil.

Nearer 6 foot here and there's a very prickly rose bush to land in.
