And what is securing your sill plates down? In the past I have normally used embedded j-bolts. Did you find a suitable alternative to use with the brick? I too would be leary of the brick, but I am not an architect or a home builder. I have never seen it used for that purpose though. I know that brick made for patio paving is much stronger though... is that what you used? Hate to see that thing fall on your contents! Just tossing out observations, which were obviously of a photo only.
