I have a very hard time believing this is true. How much did Mercedes or Audi pay him to do this?
Reverse or park are very bad ideas, that will lock the rear wheels and make you spin/rollover at high speed.

Neutral and engine shutoff are the proper solutions to that issue. Or a single hard, pedal to the metal brake application will get you to stop.
