Can you imagine how long it took to fall? So much time to be aware that you’re going to die. A death by torture. But his other option was die in a fire. I have no idea what I would choose.

I’m not sure of the site schematics, but wouldn’t you die of smoke inhalation on most fires? If so, you’d be dead long before the flames touch you. There’s some discomfort for sure, but it’s worth considering over a long plummet to your death.
