Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you're riding a bike down a hill. If you flip over and your bike is upside down, hitting the brakes won’t help you because you're already in trouble. This quote is like saying, once things have gone really wrong, certain actions you take won’t fix the problem. For example, in a project at work, if everything is completely disorganized and almost due, simply trying to stick to the original plan might not help anymore. You need to think of a new solution that fits the mess you're in. So, if things go really bad, trying to use the same old methods won't work; you need to adapt and find a new way to get back on track.
