In my rallying days I saw a few sets of rotors disintegrate upon hitting
a pool of icy water at the end (well, it WAS the end after he hit it;})
of a long hard braking incident. Mini Cooper, Datsun 510, Peugot, and
Sunbeam or Simca - can't remember which. Not a real good idea, although
a gentle spray would NOT be as disasterous as the ice bath!!
