Typically, the reverse way you got up. Otherwise, I'd look for something tall to fall/transfer to. Then firefighter slide down the stilt if you're still too high and there's no other way down.

Or you can skip finding something tall and just Firefighter slide down off a stilt if you wanna look cool.

Find a table saw. Push it to its side then cut left stilts then right then left.

hop into a woodchipper and jump off with very good timing
