Protections have been designed considering the fact there are 2 rated and proficient pilots at the controls. Hopefully, like it has already been mentioned, at least 1 will think about reducing the thrust like when you're in the car on your way to the airport called from stby and you lift your foot off the pedal when you see the cops.
