I wouldn't have skidded onto the bridge if the stupid thing had workable brakes. I consider it a very serious design flaw. I would never put up with that, if that means driving old stuff i don't mind.

I'm with pocon1 it doesn't sound like you were doing "normal" speeds, sure the ABS doesn't like wheel slip but it really doesn't matter if the ground (gravel) slips just as long as each wheel controlled by the ABS slows down and stops equally in a manner that doesn't seem to fast. My guess is if you were driving a safe speed and slowed down early enough (anticipating the gravel sliding) you wouldn't have had a problem.
