I've decided to buy one of these too. Just don't have the cash yet.

The brakes should retain enough vacuum to bring it to a stop, but even without vacuum you can still stop it with more pedal pressure and even without power steering you can still steer, its just a little harder as long as the car is moving.
Its a good idea to practice it in a empty parking lot. That way if it should happen on the road you won't panic and will know how your car reacts.
I guess people forget in the old days when we had throttle cables they could hang up. I have that happen before. Same effect, same solution...
