This still will not prevent an urgent or quick movement of the switches to the OFF position if necessary.
From B707's, B727 & B747 all the same where in the event of a runaway stabilizer (or serious Nose Up\Down Stab trimming) the procedure was/is to switch the Stab Trim off and revert to Manual trim.
Instilled into me when flying these types and exercises practiced in simulator form time to time.

Would have thought this would have summed all up and provided operations Departments and Pilots with fairly clear instructions?
