Turbine overspeed protection

VnV,

I have never come across an engine with the sort of turbine overspeed protection device I mused about. There has been no mention of such in the Trent engine, and I feel sure that if it had had one it would have been mentioned as having failed to do its job! Can you, given your experience, name a few engines that are so protected?
