escapable
Possible to dodge
Escapable describes something that can be escaped or avoided.
If a situation is escapable, there's a way out: The traffic was bad but escapable if we took back roads.
Often used in the negative: The conclusion seems inescapable.
The word appears in computing contexts where certain characters or sequences can be "escaped" to change their function.
