I had a jake quit on a steep down hill once. I was luckily plugged into a low gear but ran through that pretty quickly. I wouldn't want to be pulling a trailer/s in traffic when that happened.

When I was welding on the bridge at white bird Idaho we had signal people set up to alert the flaggers and staff to out of control trucks. It happened a couple times in the job....scary stuff.
