What if you thought you saw a small animal out on the road and slammed on your brakes?
You can't possibly tell me that you can be held liable for something that you have no control over.
Now if you were to cut someone off because they cut you off than brake check them, the party who rear ended you will have a case. But someone can not be held liable for just slamming on their brakes and being rear ended by a tailgater.
Oh and I really don't care if I cherry pick one statement, you posted an incorrect statement and I am correcting you
EDIT
oh and FYI, i only quoted that sentence because i agreed with the rest of your post, if you brake check someone, you would be at fault because you attempted to cause an accident, but slamming your brakes in its own is not illegal

Go for it Luigi...Slam on your brakes if you get tailgated....I will wait for your thread, "just got my Z totaled"... What is the witness going to say ? " Nothing was around and the front car was angry because it was being tailgated, so they slammed on the brakes to cause an accident. ". That IS illegal...It can be called reckless driving....maybe read the post above from a person who talked to a cop....
And then if you try to lie and say you saw an animal when the witness knows you were in a road rage, that is insurance fraud...Lying to your insurance to prove a point to the tailgater...Good luck with that....
Don't get your panties in a bunch....The next tailgater will make you angry soon enough...
