   I actually use that ting once in an emergency.  Off course, it locked
   up my rear wheels and I went a little sideways, but I did manage to
   stop the car without hitting anyone.

   This after a worn brake pad actually fell out of a caliper, rending
   the normal brake useless for several pumps. ('95 Toyota Camry, having
   a problem with that caliper; I had planned to change the brake pads
   and overhaul the caliper soon.)

   I don't know if the backing plate from the third party brake pad was
   thinner than spec, or if it was a design flaw.  I just keep a closer
   eye on both brake pads and calipers now.
