    I had one "pop" on a busy bridge during rush hour.I was able to shift to nuetral and "rev it up",enough to get off the road.I then pinched the line off with some quality vice grips.

    single chamber pots have a weak spring just to pull the slack adjuster back to release the brakes. two chamber pots have a maxi spring that can kill you.
