On the "face plant when braking" angle, even a normal bicycle is at risk for this with a lot of handlebar designs, like the simple straight length of tube I have. I slammed my brakes once last year when a car turned in front of me, and the bike stopped. I kept going, yanking the bicycle to then fly over me. * At speed I now always brace my arms behind the handlebar. * Damn I'm glad I was wearing gel padded gloves. * I am very much considering different handlebars.
