Extreme danger? Isn't that why they fit dual brake circuits and have a hand brake that works. On older vehicles you had to rely on the brakes being good, all or nothing - well no you didn't, you drove with more care, slower, and more in sympathy with the terrain/traffic. These days with ABS etc there are a lot of drivers who wouldn't have a clue how to control a vehicle in poor road conditions without these aids. Lets face it there are a lot who don't even know how to oil the dipstick! The price of progress, I suppose.
Did you change all your steel brake lines for cupro-nickel hydraulic pipe. It will last more than long enough for your needs. If you didn't YOU know your steel lines are bad so change them all NOW, and why are you taking the risk? If you did, why didn't you change them earlier, much earlier? I know, COST. But there again costs for cupro-nickel brake lines is small compared with a partial brake failure. We can all rant but it won't change the world. Back to horses or a red flag? Even they had their dangers. End of my rant!
