It's funny how we freak out when something unexpected happens. Years ago when I was a kid an old farmer told me that anytime you feel like you're going to get into a jam, remember two things, 1) Don't panic and 2) Simply, reach down and turn the key off.
Not sure why that stuck with me all these years (musta been because I thought it sounded like good advice). My Daughter has had her "own" tractor ever since she was way too little to have her own tractor. If you ask her today, she'll tell you "If you can't steer around it, step on the brake, if the brake won't stop it, then reach down and turn the key off." She's done that several times over the years (she's never been in a real jamb, just what she thought was an uncomfortable situation). For her, it's just the next thing you do after you step om the brake.
Another potentially life saving thing to remember is: If you ever feel like you are going to turn over sideways, like on a hillside, 1) Stay calm, 2) Simply turn the wheels down hill.
