Unfortunately, I write from experience.  I have hesitated, got locked in the back seat and railed out until I wiped out.  Once, at a local hill, I got on a double black with one of my kids at the bottom (a "hey, watch this!" moment) I fell, skis came off and it was so steep and icy that we were both sliding down the slope.  The ski was ahead of me but because of the brake, I rapidly gained on it and when right over it!!  Tyrolia enema .  All this with my son watching . 

Humble pie............yumm ie.
