The site mentions it would automatically stop at the next level, so a power outage shouldn't be a problem.

A quote from the page linked to from the first post:

If a sudden power outage occurs while the vacuum elevator is being used, the elevator cab automatically descends to ground floor at slower than normal speed because there is no air being induced into the upper chamber.
