Default Electrical Handbrake question

Having on a couple of occasions pushed the handbrake a little to early in a rolling stop I'm quite miffed and how sharply the electronics slams on the anchors. With all the monitoring that goes on inside the XC60 I'm surprised Volvo haven't made this a gradual process unless the car is completely stationary.

This then lead me to wonder, what happens if for some reason or perhaps a mental aberration, one should inadvertently engage the electrical handbrake at higher speeds, for example 5 or 10 mph. Surely the car doesn't lock the wheels and has the intelligence to realise its not a safe thing to do.

Doe anyone have an answer?
