If you really must stop fast carry a frame pump and shove it in your back wheel.

Only kidding, My Mother tells a story of when her Father, Brother, and Cousing were racing in the 1940s in a road race on fixed gear bikes with no brakes. In the race her Aunt was worried about her son so she ran into the front of the pack. You can guess what happened. She got run over and ruined a few bicycles that day. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt.
