Thanks...makes sense to me. When I was braking I always did the put your 
foot down a step or two, hang onto the overhead grab iron, and be on almost 
one knee.

I only missed orders once...That was when the operator was late getting out 
to the platform and the engineer mentioned in the previous post made no 
effort to shut off or slow down at all. The OP raced to the platform and 
stuck the hoop up just as we went by and I missed. Guess who caught you know 
what from you know who.
