That's just wrong, period. Have you ever used a router?
Have you ever done exactly what you said-- stop the router while engaged
in wood?

Yes, actually I have done it. Electrical failure while I was cutting
the ends of door rails to match the stiles. The bit *did* slow down
quickly, but it was a wood shuddering, bucking action that left two
inches of jagged, splintered end wood in my hands.

Maybe you're talking about straight bits slowing down. I was using a
stile cutting bit where a significant amount of wood profile is riding
against the bit. I was lucky that I had a good grasp on the wood or it
would have spun the wood around somewhere, maybe even at me.

Don't believe me? Go try it yourself.

I have done it. It doesn't result in a "wood grabbing... monster."
Don't use such exaggerated hyperbole if you don't want to be called on it.

Your description above it much more accurate, but I still see nothing
dangerous about that. Presumably, you still have a firm grasp of the
wood. However, from your description, I suspect two things. 1. your
bit is not very sharp. 2 your feed rate is two fast.
