Handbrakes are generally shit. If you ever have a used car you will notice that the engagement point gets higher and higher for the hand brake. I've had to adjust my handbrake cable to get the engagement point back to a reasonable level, as it was hitting the arm rest and still not holding the car.

If you've ever changed tires on a fwd car and kept it in gear, you will notice you can torque the front tires far harder than the rear, as the front will be held by the engine and the rear wheels can spin surprisingly easily by your own power even when held by the hand brake.
