Keep in mind, when using the emergency brake, it only works the rear brakes. That means you've lost 50% of your braking, and the fronts do most of the work. Don't expect to just give it a light pull to stop the car. Probably something everyone should try in a safe place, like an empty parking lot. Just so you know what to expect when you need to do this.

Why not a thrown pad Cliff?
