Isn't your air intake somewhere behind the radiator grill and so hard to access? And earlier in the thread someone described how clothing used for the purpose can end up being dragged in by the huge suction generated by a runaway engine.
I guess we can all speculate about what we might do in this scenario whilst sprawled in front of our computers, but obviously having a workable and effective action plan of specific actions is a good idea if you really are worried that it could happen to your vehicle (and then running through those plans just to make sure you can actually access the air intake, etc).
