Quotes About Brakeman

Being a brakeman is very physical, and success is mostly determined by how fast you can push a sled for about 30 meters.

In bobsled, you work as a team - a driver and a brakeman. Both athletes push, but the brakeman's biggest responsibility is to push as fast as she can and get in and ride down in a good aerodynamic position. The driver helps to push but gets in first and then steers the sled down the track. We aren't just along for the ride, despite how it looks!

Progress needs the brakeman, but the brakeman should not spend all his time putting on the brakes.
