The first time you had any indication of a brake failure were a panic stop, would your truck be up to the task?
Murphy's law applies here too.
ANY tow vehicle that has a catastrophic and total trailer brake failure in a panic situation, with no previous indication, is simply going to f*ck up your day, no matter what size that TV is. Simple as that. If that bothers people, then they need to stay in bed and never leave it because there's an incredibly small chance that they could fall and kill themselves just by getting out of it.
