OMG I thought for a minute that Was Noah from LIC but then Noah swears WAY more so it couldnt have been him 
actually it turns out that guy with the run away prius was full of ****, He was bankrupt and hasnt paid his last two payments, he got turned away at the dealer for the recall and decided to take matters in his own hands, I knew that thing sounded fishy because yeah you can put them in nutral and the brakes are still mechanical and the computer cant over-ride them. I guess when people smell toyota blood in the water they will Come out of the woodwork to sue

And yes, I bought a prius to save money, I bought the cheapest one, at $22,000 bought it when there was no tax, and it cost me less than a similar corolla. So yes, I may not be as cool as some of you driving your Subaru WRX's, but when I only pay $24 a week for gas, and your paying $50, on top of a $33k car, well then, look cool all you want.

The man in the mask has a point. Fast forward to 0:37.
Pressing the brake pedal and e-brake stops a runaway the car. If you don't know how to operate a 3000# projectile capable of moving at 90mph, well then you should not operate it.
Brake failure can happen on any car, that is why they come with an Emergency-Brake.

Norwegian Prius Unintentionally Accelerates To 109 MPH, Rams Guard Rail
Check out the front wheels on this Toyota Prius, after its owner rammed a guard rail after the throttle stuck open, accelerating it to 109 MPH. It's the second Prius II after James Sikes' to do this. [VG.no]
