Indeed you are root, and could halt the system immediately (which is
bad enough).  Breaking out is only possibly because of the double
chroot trick that Ethan Benson explained.  If you fix that trick
(which can be done), then breaking out is relatively difficult.  You
can still hose the machine though in many ways, such as halt, or funky
games with the network.
