    Yup. If there were an emergency, I'd offer to help someone who was chair-bound. It might not be the most dignified of exits, but it would be fairly quick.

      Sadly you don't. Anyone not able to leave the cinema in the event of a fire has to be left behind. The fire brigade are told of your presence. The doors are supposedly fire resistant for 30 minutes - enough time fore you to be rescued by trained professionals.

      Or people like me who can carry you down so long as you're willing to suffer the indignity of a piggyback ride.
      I pretty much figured that was the case. It's a "save as many people as possible" situation - which means not letting folks like me hold up the able-bodied.

      That said, I'd be HAPPY for the piggyback ride!

      Geek King, Broomjockey, Andara, everyone else similar:

      And yes, abandon the chair. It's a THING. What gets saved is the PEOPLE. Get me (or whoever) out, with minimal risk to yourself, and leave the things to burn.
      If trying to get us both out means neither of us will make it, however, then Good luck. Give my love to my family. Have a nice life.

      Seshat's self-help guide:
      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        Fun stuff. Not something to get into the middle of...

        ...but the fuel tanks were never in danger of going up.

          If you're lucky, the fire will be on the other side of the fire door.

          Fortunately, a Plot Device emerges that will allow Protagonist and a couple of his friends to Save The World somehow. Upon completion of his quest, he winds up returning to his menial job, and is greeted with nothing but an order to make up for his missed days. And so he regrets saving the world and all of it's soulless banality.
          Something like that happened in this comic. Read the link and the following pages.

            At my school at each floor on several stairwells in the newer building their are two sets of doors between the hallway and the stairs that is under positive pressure. In the event of a fire alarm this is the first place emergency personnel check. Combine that with a fully sprinklered building and a emergency phone in the shelter.
