I have the ford style steel ball electrical cutoff on my cars. I road race. I have set mine off at a inappropriate time, like on off course spin, that then strands the car with approaching traffic. The easy fix was to relocate it so from the drivers seat i could reset it, and get underway. I don't see how a "hard launch" could set it off, unless the gyrations got rather extreme. It seems to need a hard impact, and I'm keeping mine as is.I think they are smart. The street cars get one easy to "kick' as I'm exiting in a potential car jacking(?), leaving the car running long enough to get some distance between me and the gun toting thug driving away.
