Sorry, but that makes no f**ing sense or indicates you may lack understanding of how your car works.
If anything, what "saved" your 'ass" was lifting off the gas and pushing the clutch before you moved the gearshift, because skip-shift isn't enabled until you physically move the shifter out of first and into the neutral gate. By the time that happened, what wheelspin had been occuring had already stopped.
What saved you was either luck, the fact that the vehicle was actually not "out of control" or (maybe) your driving skill being better than you think.
Interesting perspective. The 1/4 served as reminder mostly!
