Default Escaping from a fire.

I see someone else got injured jumping from a first floor window in a fire.

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.
