A few times I have read or heard accounts of a driver losing control and braking as hard as they could then "we hit the grass (or ice, or any other low co-efficient of friction surface) and it sped up"

I'm sorry. This is physically impossible. The rate of deceleration may have approached zero, but there was no force applied to the vehicle to accelerate it.

Sigh
