Near failure?

Descending Brasstown Bald, which is steep, twisty, and dangerous to the point we were not going to bomb down it, our brakes were pretty seriously off gassing by the bottom. If it would have been any longer we would have had to have stopped as the brakes were getting to the point that you could tell they were losing their effectiveness.
But we've never had them actually fail.
