fuel pump collision switch

I would like some thoughts concerning adding a fuel
pump shutoff switch that activates in a collision.

I see some very inexpensive Ford collision switches
and I am considering adding one. I would put
it up under the dash, but accessible for resetting if
necessary.

Anyone done this?

If you broke a Fuel Line in a collision, A EFI engine will die instantly, Without a RPM signal to the PCM.....The PCM will shut the FP Relay off.
