Came across these:

Say you are riding along, touring, hands on the top of the bars and need to stop suddenly instead of losing seconds/balance/control going for the hoods you can pull on these. Got me thinking why not put a set on aero bars?
Hunkered down in aero, need to stop/scrub off some speed wouldn't this be a good idea or would it cause instability?
Really got me thinking why we don't we have them? There must be a reason, I've read about the old 'suicide' levers but apparantly the new ones don't have that problem as they instal in the middle of the cable run. Mmmm

Stabity is with the rider and their skill,but they may not be added to TT bikes due to(delete as appropriate),not aero enough,not esthetically pleasing due to too many caes,extra weight,too many levers for the average triathletes brain to cope with.
Could be a Market in it for you.

This is probably a better option for tri bars but few people use them
