Should you have to get out and away from a very big bomb. Always found this fascinating including the zip wire ride from hell. Were there not some dedicated armoured cars along the way?

Yes, they had some M113 APCs for fast response rescue if something went badly wrong

Seen to remember some imagery of them in a recent practice with the shuttles.

Searcv you tube and you will find some contemporary film footage of James Burke talking us through the Apollo pad emergency escape system.
