Kinda screws up a well known adage:-
In case of fire do not use the elevator
You think they will have emergency stairs?
Don\'t SYN us.... We\'ll SYN you.....

Geosynchronous orbit is pretty high, 22,000 miles. (Yes I have that memorized) And to stay geo the thing would be moving at almost 7,000 miles per hour at the top. JTFC! I was going to say that gravity drops off and neither a parachute nor stairs would be necessary.  However, at that acceleration (sideways) there would be artificial gravity through acceleration? The object would have to be massive, in fact the article states we would have to capture and move an asteroid to the spot.
