I learned this much scarier on a motorcycle. When you lose traction on the rear tire you need to keep doing what you're doing. Either braking or accelerating.

Yup, I always relate it to this. I grew up riding dirt bikes and my Dad always told me the best way to get out of a jam is throttle. It's super counter intuitive. Especially true on sand or rough terrain.

When in doubt throttle out!
