Where did HandBrake get its name from?

Hello,
As you can see I have a very important question regarding the origins of the Handbrake name. As a car enthusiast, a handbrake is used as an emergency brake to stop the rear wheels of a car (and to cause it to drift!). I am curious why this was chosen as the name of the software.
It doesn't seem to be mentioned in Handbrake lore either... https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.0.0/about/history.html
Thanks for any info y'all can provide!
