In regards to safety. I believe in helmets to some extent but I am still not sold on the front brake for safety thing.

That way maybe we could start collecting some hard evidence to back up or dismiss the safety argument of front brakes.
I'm starting to wonder if a rear brake isn't better than a front. Granted, less braking power, but after a short flight a couple weeks ago after hitting the idiot lever a little too hard, I'm wondering...
