Abstract
Motivated by critical planar percolation, we investigate a ``backbone'' event of planar Brownian motion, i.e.~the existence of two disjoint subpaths on the Brownian trajectory connecting the -neighborhood of the starting point to a macroscopic distance. We show that the probability of this event is as for some constant .
