But seriously... if your skills are up to par, is brakeless any different safetywise than a coaster brake? True that the riding environment forces gauging your speed according to how quickly you may need to decelerate, but isn't that also part of the 'track feel'? Not that I've done any significant amount of track riding.
On the track, the only time you decelerate is when you exit the track. If you backpedal on the track while riding in a train (paceline), you'll quickly find yourself becoming extremely unpopular.
