The invention provides an escape device and an escape method. The escape device comprises a telescopic rod, a transmission device and a controller, wherein the telescopic rod can be elongated or shortened and can rotate around an axial line which is parallel and perpendicular to the telescopic rod, so that a device which is arranged on the end head of the telescopic rod is driven to be quickly withdrawn from the spot, and the telescopic rod and the transmission device are driven to be positioned on an azimuth which does not influence field work.
