Why does pressing on gas and brake improve stopping distance?
While this is doesn’t have very much empirical data in it, it rings true for the following reason (as he goes on to say): The main difference for an improved stopping distance was their left foot was able to counter balance their weight transfer so they had more pressure to apply into their braking.

If they do not match, serious damage can occur to both vehicles. Park the cars close enough for the cables to reach, but they should not touch. Turn the engine off in the car with the good battery. Unplug any accessories (like cell phone chargers); the power surge generated by the jumpstart can short them out.
