Question:

What will happen when the brakes are applied?

A stunt motorcycle is flying through the air to the right after “jumping” from a ramp. In the middle of the trajectory, the driver puts on the brakes. What happens?

Answer:

The wheels stop rotating, the engine stalls. The bike begins rotating forward (reaction of stopping the wheels). The rider crashes heavily.
Same outcome as not using the brakes in this situation and given timing.
