A braking system and method includes primary and secondary cylinder assemblies. The primary cylinder assembly includes an expandable structure that controls movement of a first piston rod. The secondary cylinder assembly includes a second piston rod disposed within a second cavity of a second housing. A compressed fluid moves from the primary assembly to the secondary cylinder assembly responsive to the expandable structure expanding. The second piston rod moves from a resting state to a compressed state responsive to at least some of the compressed fluid being received by the secondary assembly. A fluid control assembly controls a position of a valve between an open position and a closed position to allow or prohibit the compressed fluid from moving between the primary and secondary assemblies.
