Yes, if you don't brace yourself and are unfamiliar with the brake and
grab wildly, any powerful brake can be dangerous--but so can many
things in life. Well adjusted brakes should be easy to modulate,
provided you're not inebriated and have practiced a few panic stops,
and shouldn't necessitate the purchase of a new bicycle.

Be careful when posting questions like this, because you may attract
'bent riders, who are bearded hammers in search of nails--sometimes
with orange flippy flags!

I do NOT have orange flippy flags!

Yellow?
