The route I take starts off with a straightaway followed by two rights in my neighborhood to face the other direction. I consider that my testing zone, but I don't necessarily "test" them... I would make sure the tires were pumped and that the seat wasn't janky, and around those two bends I would check the brakes.

The issue is somewhat moot though, because I was applying a minute amount of force at a high speed... I knew the brakes worked prior to my accident, but they, in a sense, overworked the moment I flipped.

I was going at a decent rate on a flat straightaway, and I knew I had to brake for an upcoming intersection, I went to start my braking process, and then I had a concussion and a crowd around me.
