Protection during landing is based on the height above ground level (calculated using two radio altimeters) and protection during take-off is based on vertical speed.
True to a point however, it will not cater for gross mishandling. If the E195 is the same it didn't limit pitch but reduced elevator authority based on a number of factors but you could still whack the tail if you tried hard enough.
