Default DEATH WOBBLE Control???

Hey all, just Wanted to get some info on controllin this beast in an emergency situation?
Needless to say, I broke the rear loose shiftin into third bout 140km/h.
held in the Clutch and the bike straightened out but continued to wip left n right insanely?
now, im 6'2 200lbs built, so i was givn it hell tryin to muscle it straight, but nothing was helpin. I was along for the ride, after bout a block, and thoughts of bailing out, i managed to get on the brakes enought that i muscled out the violent shakin.
Anyway, that was the end of the ride that night. After getting home, i was tryin to recall the events and couldnt think of anyway i could have done to stop the Death Wobble before it got krazy?
Any info would be great~ Cheers All ~ Chase
