At first, we'd go 11-->G-->11 a couple/few times per day. We worked up to going 11--> G --> 15 --> 11. And then, as you can imagine with a bunch of dudes, some folks were running, so everyone was running, or you'd get to a floor and say "I feel pretty good, should we go another few floors" to which the next guy would respond "hell, this is easy" and we'd feed off of each other. One day that went on until we all ran from 0 up to the top of the stairs at the door to the roof. The trip back down from 35 to 11 was rough. You'd never think that going down would be so hard.

but, in the scenario, i think you are going to have to knock out your friend and lay ontop of his body as a cushion.

Absolutely. And pray that when the elevator lands you are knocked off so when they find you, you guys aren't snuggling. Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what you're into....
