Wow. Slammed brakes. Very dramatic.

This brake-slamming has got to stop.

What's next? Doors?

Correct. Autobrakes MAX will do what they're designed to do...

which is slam on the brakes. Plus there is an aircraft crossing in front of you, plus ATC is screaming in your ear to STOP!!!! It’s easy to Monday morning QB.

Yes Autobrakes MAX (RTO for those who speak Boeing) will slam on the brakes, by design.

I said no such thing (you did), but now that you mention it, no, I wouldn't "slam on the brakes"

I would, however, apply the correct rejected takeoff procedure, which does not involve any slamming. It does involve RTO autobrakes, or max manual braking. Max manual braking applies the greatest break pressure (slightly more than RTO autobrakes), but RTO brakes provide the shortest stopping distance, given the time interval to full application.

It's a procedure, not a melodrama.
