Too late to edit the mistyped title, I'm sorry.

Ok. The question was how large are the forces on rudder pedals or yoke due to a runaway aileron/rudder trim and if those can be overpowered by pilots.

As I know, usually there are 2 switches to prevent inadvertent operation of the aileron/rudder trim, however, there are no multiple cutout switches as you have for the THS. I figure out there may be some CBs to pull in case of rudder/aileron trim malfunction, but I guess they are not easy to reach them quickly.

So, basically the concern was how are you able to deal with these runaway trim scenarios.
