It's not an "Emergency Brake" ... I'm not even sure what good it is in an emergency.
The parking/emergency brake is a cable connection to the rear wheel brakes. Everything is separate from the hydraulic braking system so that if the hydraulic system fails you would still have the "emergency brakes" which would be a little better than "no brakes".
