What should a jumper do if they need to cut away after landing on a building?

In a situation where a jumper has landed on a building and finds the need to cut away, waiting for help before making a decision is critical for safety. The jumper may be in a precarious or dangerous situation, and making hasty decisions can result in injury or further complications. By waiting for assistance, the jumper can evaluate the situation more clearly, get guidance from professionals or experienced personnel on the ground, and ensure that any actions taken will be the safest and most effective.

It's crucial to take into account the specific circumstances on the building, such as obstacles, hazards, or the presence of other people. Assessing these factors with the help of others can lead to better clinical judgment regarding whether to cut away or how to proceed.

Cutting away immediately could potentially lead to an uncontrolled descent or further emergencies, especially if the jumper is unsure of their surroundings. Similarly, attaching to another jumper or performing a parachute landing fall (PLF) may not be viable or safe options, given the complexities involved on a building landing, where conditions can vastly differ from a typical landing zone. This highlights the importance of careful assessment and prioritizing personal safety by waiting for appropriate help before taking action.
