Yes, you shut off the engine in old cars to stop them blowing up, not ideal but a blown engine also leads to no power steering or brakes and also a blown engine.
Modern engines will run at the limiter all day without breaking and you should NOT switch them off until the car has stopped. The noise can be very intimidating though so you need to stay cool.
