I'd do it if it was my only chance of survival, but it would be a very hard decision. If it's on a highway I'd just stop giving it gas and it would eventually slow or rear-end someone, which would be much less damage than scraping down the whole side i would think.

I'd also vote downshift. At least until you're slow enough that you can use the e-brake safely. The sound that car makes is horrible, though.
