OK, not an 'emergency brake' but a redefinition of terms to 'parking brake'.

Some of us were around back in the day of single circuit braking systems
where a burst brake line **did** require and emergency brake. Now we have
dual circuit braking systems where, if one fails, there is still a redundant
one. Old habits are hard to change. Besides there was some drama and
excitement in saying *emergency brake* <smile>.
