One would assume a toggle like that would come with blaring alarms and blinking lights… right? Right??
Edit: It also seems like the engine cutoff is immediate after the toggle. I wonder if a built in delay would make sense for safety.

(Presumably delaying the amount of time before a raging engine fire stops receiving fuel would also have an impact on safety?)
Low altitude, stall, and impact with terrain certainly will.
And with how low and slow they were during takeoff, those would have been going off almost instantly.
