A fly-off hand brake is one that has been modified to not latch when applied,
allowing one to engage just the rear brakes manually. This lets you create
brake-induced oversteer, particularly in low traction situations. This is
especially effective (and helpful) when driving a front wheel drive car. The
same result can be achieved very simply by just taping down the latch release
button, as I used to do in the winter to be able to "hang the tail out" in my
997 Mini-Cooper. <G>
