I guy bought a cooler from me and came buy to get it and told me the story of his RVI2 he messed up the day before and melted his wheels, axle boots, and most likely totaled the car, all because he made one last check that he was in neutral and pressed the brake.
In all the years I've been poking around RV forums, I have never heard of a toad breaking free and playing Hopper on the highway. I've have, however, heard of people leaving their brakes on and the toad catching fire because the wheels were being dragged down the road by a clueless RV driver with so much HP in the coach that they didn't notice the additional drag. I personally stopped a class A leaving a Carolina Crossroads in NC with his toad brakes on. This would indicate that brakes cause more problems than they solve.
