A rope deployment mechanism includes a load beam pivotable between an open position and a closed position. Also included is a linkage assembly engaged with the load beam in the closed position and moveable to allow the load beam to pivot to the open position. Further included is a locking rod operatively coupled to the linkage assembly. Yet further included is a sliding member translatable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the sliding member is engaged with the locking rod to prevent movement of the locking rod and the linkage assembly in the locked position, and wherein the locking rod and the linkage assembly are moveable in the unlocked position. Also included is a lever configured to actuate movement of the linkage assembly to allow the load beam to move to the open position.
