It all happens very fast. It's not like a stuck throttle in a minivan.

Shutting it off in D would not have damaged anything at all. I wouldn't recommend it as a habit, but it's not going to hurt anything the one time when the throttle gets stuck.
Another option is to shove it into N and let the engine bounce off the rev limiter until you stop it and shut it off.
