I have coasted vehicles from a Geo Prism to a 3 ton Cadillac hearse. Anything can be safely brought to a halt with some effort and a bit of patience. The hearse required both hands on one side of the wheel and both feet on the brake pedal coming down a mountain road. Worst case, grind into a guard rail or land in a fence. Snow banks and grape vines are great for soft landings. Have an exit strategy.
