Yeah I have a break away switch to wire in.
I didn't buy the cheapest controller either.

To add a brake axle to my single axle trailer cost about $600.
But I up graded to load range E 12 inch alloy wheels for about 100 each, the brake drum hubs and up grade spindles were the rest. I made and welded the axle my self only had the machine shop fit the spindles to the axle for $40. I did all the wiring.

Then $120 for the brake control that I wired in.

But I figure the cost of not stopping would be to add a few zeros to that $600 price point.
