Accidents happen, planes can be rebuilt, people can't. I am glad you are OK. Thanks for sharing your lessons with us.

Oh yes, I went off the runway at the Redmond fly in  with a brake failure a few weeks back. Landed and stated going right. Stepped on rudder to get it back to centerline, then with end of runway approaching and still going about 30-40 knots elected to make a right into infield rather than go into lights at end. No damage,  pretty eyewatering experience. Brake line failed (nylaflow) inside gear leg. Tim Ong says there have been other failures and they are working on a fix. Would have been disastrous on a short runway with heavy braking on touchdown or a narrow runway with obstacles.
