Definitely an instant lock up.
or would it roll to a stop?
You still need power to Roll-a-bit .
Never wear a seatbelt so I was just wondering what would happen.

Not quite nobody. Rachi actually uses a four-point sports car harness needed to keep her positioned despite distonic movements. It's also saved her bacon a couple times in the last 30 years. For example, when one wheel of her FWD chair hit an immovable obstacle while moving quickly on a too-narrow sidewalk (I guess that's "footpath" for you Brits) and flipped her sideways off the curb and into the roadway. No injuries, and she thought it very funny. I didn't.
Nope. That is "Soft Stop" and is Yes/No programmable. Complete electrical failure removes any programming from the equation as the controller is now dead.
