    I once made a large mistake, similar to this. Didn't check clearance of the of my SS lines to the smaller 15" wheels i installed..... yeah.

    Used the brake, had resistance, and then pop...nothing. The emergency brake works surprisingly well. Lesson learned in a decently control and not fast paced environment.
