If you're driving 75 mph and one or more motors suddenly lose power and it fully brakes, that's a certain death in my opinion.

Well, it is certainly a very shaky proposition, and the car will probably be a total loss.
But there are ways you could walk away from this.
You see some pretty crazy crash survivals in race driving, for example.
And I remember stories from a few years ago, when Ford had a recall on F150 tires because they tended to blow out at highway speeds, with an effect similar to full wheel lockup-- yes, people died, but others didn't.
