Well if you use it correctly while riding in theory during a panic situation you should also use it correctly.

Why I dont even use my rear brake ever even when stopping normal, the front is superior and yes i know the whole thing about how the rear brake does work to help shave some feet off your stoping distance but its too easy to get hurt trying to use it in a panic situation.

I look at it this way.... the rear brake is considered 10% of your stopping power. In an emergency situation that 10% could equate to 4-6 feet (or even inches) that can come between you and hitting something very hard. Why would you not use it?
