Fallback

Hi

A certain lady says that in some small coal mines even if you failed drug test you still can work there. In big outfits it's impossible. So if you have problems with drugs, you can work in these small mines.

Then, referring to these small mines, she says that it is a Nice fallback.

Does it mean: Nice way out.
