U mean the wheel lock up causing the car to skid? I had played with my leg brake and it's really not strong enough to slow down the car much (comparing to regular brake). It help add friction when the car is parked but when the car is rolling it only slow the car down a little. And use this parking brake with regular brake, that means using 2 brakes at once so double the braking power and likely to skid.
