not to pile on, but piling on, water in brake fluid makes brakes fail. Driving a car on the track, water in brake fluid can lead to total brake failure and planting into the wall.

same thing can happen on a bike if you get water in brake fluid hot enough to boil. When you put the brakes on, you compress the steam, instead of moving the pistons.
