Would you feel comfortable using a stroller without a brake?...

If you ever come down here bring your stroller. My DH has a rivet gun, welder, etc and I'm sure he could fix it. LOL.

I have no idea if it's possible, but is there a way to just add some sort of break insead of fixing the old one?

This happened last fall, to answer the original question: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/10/16/australia.baby.train.escape/index.html

When I'm loading/unloading and don't have the brake on, I put my foot between the front and back wheels (regular 4-wheel stroller, I don't know if yours is a 3-wheeler). That way, if the stroller rolls forward, the back wheel is stopped by my foot, and if the stroller rolls backward, the front wheel is stopped by my foot. I only do this when I'm paying attention to my child, as there is the risk that the stroller could decide to roll sideways away from me and my foot. It does catch the stroller 99% of the time.

I have tried something like that but it turns so easily. It is only an issue if she falls asleep. If she is awake she can jump out and I can keep my hand on the stroller. If she is asleep it sometimes rolls away as I'm lifting her.

I am happy to say my brake is fixed! My friend's husband was able to fix it! YIPPY!

So what was the problem?

I had broken the piece where the break goes through, that is the part that needed to be replaced.
