Isn't that scenario a bit far-fetched? Surely if that shaft failed, the engine would very rapidly spin up due to the removal of the load and shut itself down?

I don't know what overspeed protection there is but if it has a DECU, it would surely shut the engine down.

Has that shaft ever failed? If not, then it is quite understandable that it isn't covered in annual sim training.
