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.
