Did someone try to stop the car using the "Parking brake"?

The later backing plates were re-enforced to help prevent the parking brake band from shearing off the stop and jamming the brake band when someone tried to use the parking brake to stop the car.

I am not sure that Ford ever recommended the use of this brake to stop the car at speed even after the "upgrade".
