from
Wikipedia
An escape aerial tramway is a special form of the aerial tramway that allows a fast escape from a dangerous location.
They are used on rocket launching sites to offer the launch staff or astronauts a fast retreat.
The tramway consists of a rope which runs from the launch tower downward to a protection shelter.
On the launch supply tower several small cabs can be occupied by the launch staff or the astronauts.
After a barrier is loosened these roll downward to the protection shelter.
An escape aerial tramway exists on launch pads 39A and 39B at Cape Canaveral.
