Backing downhill might not activate the trailer brakes, but the manual lever would. The Prodigy is pretty well behaved, and it's adjustments are handy. However, in a real situation you don't have a lot of time to fiddle with buttons or switches, particularly circuit breakers that would be down the wire under the dash.
I think any kind of on-off switch to the brake controller is a bad idea because it's a too-easy way to find yourself driving without the trailer brakes someday.
