I'm trying to acertain whether this is a theoretical idea that is still unproven, or a legitimate fully functional and approved method for timing belt protection.
I was thinking that too , if you are taking good money from people it really does need to be proved , When the aux belt does snap the damage is all over in 1/2 second and there are massive forces involved , enough to rip off the cam belt tensioner from the block rendering the block scrap . this bracket could easily be ripped straight off .

The definitive answer is to change the belts and idlers ...
