Cateye -
In my several experiences, there is NO difference between stopping a TM normally and stopping a TM that has a blowout. Just come to a smooth, even stop as you normally would. No need to avoid the trailer brakes, no need to decelerate extra-gently - just do what you normally do. Each time I have reported on a tire failure, I think I have commented that the TM handles unbelievably well. I'm very impressed with the design of the TM that makes this possible.
