Yea....I try to always start the car in neutral as well, I'm pretty religious about that, for some reason I just didn't this time....probably should have an interlock.
Luckily I developed some pretty quick reflexes in the days of my ev1-b controller when failing on was pretty much the norm...opened the main contactor, pulled the e-brake, and hit the e-stop all in what I'm pretty sure was less than half a second.
In retrospect I'm actually kind of glad the car was in gear when the failure occurred...I'm pretty sure a full 160+ volts direct to a 36v rated motor with no load would have grenaded it almost instantly.
