I've never had a line go while driving a saab, but have on other cars and though you can usually stop, your braking power is seriously diminished and might not be enough for your situation. As Daren said it could be surface rust only, but if they're punky, they'll usually flake and weep when you poke at them. Saabs need a double bubble (?) flaring tool which is not really a DIY job. Fortunately factory flared lines are available at parts stores in many lengths and are not expensive.
