In short, no. Cars designed to be driven WITH Power Steering are unsafe to drive when the power steering system has failed. If you've lost steering due to a broken belt, I suppose it might be safer to drive it that way than to park on a busy highway shoulder.

When the engine shuts off does the power steerings die?
If by "die" you mean stops working, then yes, the power steering is disabled when the engine is not running. The power steering is actually a hydraulic pump that assists your effort in turning the steering wheel. The pump is powered by the engine, so when the engine is off, so is the power steering. Incidentally, if you should lose power steering while the car is moving (engine dies, belt failure, hydraulic line breached, etc) you haven't lost the ability to steer, you've only lost the power assist. Also, in most modern cars when you turn off the car, the steering wheel lock engages. This is an antitheft measure, such that the car is difficult to push away when it's turned off (to a loading ramp, for example) because it cannot be steered. It's not worth much, as obviously the most effective way of stealing a car is to hotwire the ignition and drive it away.
