That's glass, it'll brake or explode depending on the type of glass. Also, while running you have no protection against falling debris. Those doors lead to a bridge if you are on the second floor or are directly under that bridge if you are in the first floor, so it's not sefer there

You would have to walk down stairs and who knows what the condition of those are while the ground is moving so much like this. In airport terminals, you are still pretty high above the ground. Like 15 feet or so.
