The biggest problem with this is not whether or not it happens, but that people are too stupid to do anything to save themselves. If the throttle were to get stuck open on my Jeep, there is no way the brakes would stop the thing, it's too overpowered. It would be - Click ignition off, shift to neutral, let engine spin down, click ignition back on (ignition off before neutral to avoid bouncing the rev limiter at WOT).
