I landed with one hand near the anti-skid switch figuring that if a tyre burst on touchdown, I'd minimise any swing towards the estuary by turning off the anti-skid and bursting the other.
Bloody good idea, I like that.
A better idea - if you're sure it's not a problem with the gauge -might be to land with both brakes on and induce a double tyre burst. I did that once in a Lightning and it stopped exceedingly quickly - in a straight line.
