Nice thing about a standard transmission is that unless the linkage breaks you can always pull it out of gear, even under load.

You can't necessarily turn a Diesel off [1], and I would not be surprised if modern very-high compression gasoline engines are able to pull the same runaway off.
[1] Big Diesel generators have countermeasures for runaway, but cars don't.
