No gas is released if the pilot goes out. Electric ignition is a little cheaper to run as it doesn't have a pilot light running all the time. Use a match if the electric ignition goes out. My new 2013 kitchenaid gas stove top will not operate when the power is out.
Even if your stove has electronic ignition rather than gas pilots you can still light the burners with a match. If you do have the fail safe system that prevents gas flow if there is no electricity for ignition I'm sure it could be disabled or removed by a technician. To find out, unplug the cord on the stove or trip the breaker and give it a try.
