In case of a detachment, the train will automatically perform an emergency brake (without the possibility of manual intervention by the conductor).
Trains are fail-safe. They only run because the brakes are held open by a pressured air system running along the whole train. In case of a detachment, the hose connecting the wagons would break, releasing the air pressure and thus slamming the brakes down.
