My Safari is my all-weather bike,and the only one I'll ride in salt. I usually commuted on it in good weather,but sometimes it was nice to speed things up with one of my road bikes.

Then you should practice. I rode through Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon with basically just a front disc because the rear caliper was messed up. I've also had to panic brake on steep downhills in the rain,and managed without issue. Never even been close to going over my bars when braking.
