bails out
Exits via parachute
Bails out means to rescue from difficulty, especially financial trouble: The government bailed out the failing bank.
It also means to abandon a situation—jumping from a disabled aircraft with a parachute, or withdrawing from any commitment: He bailed out of the project at the last minute.
The phrase connects to bail as security for release, and to bailing water from a sinking boat.
