Sure your foot didn't slip off the brake onto the gas when you clipped the curb? I know they feel totally different but I've been known to fat foot it before where you are actually pressing the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time.

I am not certain I follow the logic of your question. If the ECU is supposed to override the throttle when or if the brake is depressed, how could pushing the brake pedal and accelerator at the same instant cause what happened to the origina poster? Would not this be the "lost mind" ECU scenario you were obviously being facetious about?
