On the RV-3, I used to just kill the EC-2 power switch.  That same switch also supplied the injector and ignition power IIRC, so sneak circuits would have to be pretty sneaky to get around it :-)  On the single rotor test stand, I've been killing it with the injection disable switches, because of the sneak circuit not allowing the EC-2 switch to stop the engine.  
 
All that being said, I agree with the logic of using the fuel pump switch, and will probably start doing that instead.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (can't wait to see how Ed scores this one <g>)
 
 
PS- I flew the gyro twice today, and there were no fatalities (Lynn) :-)
