As long as your front brake was powerful enough you could definitely put more load under braking on a tandem than a heavily loaded single, due to the longer wheelbase. There is also those bumps and pot holes that you don't see in time. On a single you quite often have time to lift the front wheel, with the tandem you just have to plough on through.
