I can understand concern for turning the key off because of the power steering issue, however, worrying because the car might "flip" from putting it in neutral seems odd.

Turning off the ignition doesn't disable your steering. It just requires more effort to turn the wheel.

Now, the engine might blow from the RPMs but can't really get a grip on the flipping concern.

Modern engines have a governor that limits the RPM. But, that's a bogus concern when the alternative is a collision at 50+ mph.

I agree with everything you commented on to my post. I just trying to figure out why this guy didn't do one or the other. However, you said:

"Modern engines have a governor that limits the RPM. But, that's a bogus concern when the alternative is a collision at 50+ mph."

And most modern cars are NOT supposed to have an accelerator that sticks. So how do we know the RPM governor you've sited would work? This is the problem Toyota now faces.

I rented a toyota with the pushbutton starter once. I honestly do not know how one would turn off the ignition in one of those without turning everything off, completely locking the wheel. There may be a way, and if I owned one I might know what it is, but I don’t so I don’t.
