In the real Spits there was also a small wire that was broken when boost override was used -- the erks would routinely have to check it once you'd landed. If it was indeed broken they'd quietly curse your immediate ancestry since it meant additional checks on your Merlin's integrity had to be undertaken before the Chief Rigger could sign off on it as being fit for duty!
