A fully-loaded 747-8 Freighter with worn-out brakes attempted an aborted takeoff on a California runway for certification.
During the abort, reverse thrust is not used since it is not part of the certification process.

An abort is the most dangerous phases of flying. You are heavy with fuel and often the reason for the abort is the loss of an engine which makes it even harder to stop.
