inertia. [(i-nur-shuh)] in physics, the tendency for objects at rest to remain at rest, and for objects in uniform motion to continue in motion in a straight line, unless acted on by an outside force. (see newton's laws of motion.)

once the brakes are applied on the dolly, they will not back off unless the force between them is reversed...there is no spring in the actuator. I agree that the pressure will be relieved a good bit once you let off the mh brakes, but not totally until the pulling force by the mh is stronger than the drag affect of the dolly's brakes.
