So in that scenario I assume that the safety cut out bar at the mouth pf the hopper would not have time to work,  or should it be able to stop the feed rollers in a split second.?

The rollers will stop instantaneously when the safety is operated and in the UK, the standards mean they stay stopped until reset. In the case in that clip, by the time you arrived at the in feed, there is a good chance that you wouldn't be in a fit state to help yourself.
