Fixed gear Bromtpon works perfectly happily for me. I've never tried skidding it as it's a PowerTap rear wheel and it'll unwind itself if try. But you can't certainly slow down just using the fixed gear, and the tensioner never gets pulled out. It just jiggles slightly as the bottom part of the chain goes rigid. I've got two brakes anyway.

Fixed gear Brompton? Unless your using two brakes to slow, any pressure on the chain will just pull the tensioner out and therefore not slow you, will be a right old mess. Unless you add a lock to the rear end and don’t fold it, not going to be suitable!
