What would happen if you slammed the brakes on, would you revolve as well?

I saw some video of it in use not too long ago, and stopping was a real big problem. Balance too, as it crashed pretty badly. Other versions of this rig included outrigger style wheels for safety.

Here's an early version, restored from 1924:
