breaking out of a switch statement?

is it possible to break out of a switch statement like you would a loop? the break command doesn't seem to work. my goal is to say.. if condition is met then use the default action, like this:   ...
application delivery
design
devops
iRules

Why have if's inside a switch or even use default. Why not:

 

   switch blah {
    "knownbadcond1" {set badFlag 1}
    "knownbadcond2" {set badFlag 1}
    "knownbadcond3" {set badFlag 1}
    "knowngoodcond1" {do good stuff1}   
    "knowngoodcond2" {do good stuff2}      
    "knowngoodcond3" {do good stuff3}  
    }    
   if { [info exists badFlag] && $badFlag } { tell the user he sucks }
