Burj.....at that height do they provide a parachute as a safety measure?

I have heard that it feels cold on top even on a hot and humid gulf day.

The Burj Engineers had major problem with the humid water vapour condensing on the higher walls and flowing down the side-walls like water.

Well the tallest I've gone to is an 80+ storied hotel and the elevator was pretty fast so fast that the numbers of the floors were zipping past and i got that ear thingy when there is a sudden pressure difference:)
