Pyjamas?

Hi, apologies if this has been covered before, I'm new here and would have missed the topic if from a while ago.

On my last flight in business I noticed a fair few people hurrying to jump into pyjamas whilst the aircraft was still at the gate.
I thought nothing of it but, on reflection, I decided that it would not be a practice that I would follow. It was a usual UK day in January, about 8C outside with some rain about.
Had the aircraft rejected its take off at high speed I'm told the only means of leaving the plane would be down the slides, how would that be for the man in his pyjamas and flip flops?
In that case passengers are urged to get away from the aircraft as quickly as possible, probably across the grass. Emergency services would be fully engaged fighting any fires (wheels, brakes, whatever) and saving the lives of any still on board.
There would probably be a finite time before people outside would be marshalled together and transport found to take them to safety.
I think I'll keep my PJ's in the bag until we are safely airborne!
