That safety system kicked in today as I tried to shake Zack off my tail. Tried to do a wing over and he followed me up (at a safe distance), so I turned it into a slow barrel roll to fool him and was inverted long enough to stutter the engine and the oil pressure alarm went off. As I came around, everything came back to life. Damn these planes are fun.
