If hard braking is needed and the truck has little traction, the trailer will not help with the braking. There are many situations where the driver isn't controlling the brakes but there is no point getting into it, only Mickey Mouse products are currently available.
If the truck has little traction the trailer won't have much traction either. About the last thing you want in this situation is for the trailer wheels to lock up (because you've got the brake pedal planted on the floor) while the truck's anti-lock brake system is doing it's thing. The sliding trailer will try its best to swing you around backwards...
