I really hadn't experienced hearing the word 'hard-braking' until I got to Wiesbaden a couple of years ago.
Typically, it translates to mean....you are on a bus, and the driver has grasped an emergency situation and slammed on the brakes. I've probably been on three buses where the situation developed, and in each case....at least one or two people were in some injury situation.
This means...the bus trip halts entirely (dumping you off), and some ambulance gets called. The last time....it was some 70-year old gal who'd twisted her wrist hanging on.....I suspected a breakage.
Yesterday, in town.....they had a 'hard-braking', and a couple of ambulances were called. Nine folks were hurt in some way, and six of them got a trip to the hospital for an x-ray.
It is a hazardous experience....just riding a bus.
