Yes on this occasion the concept worked. All too often the Panto doesn't close soon enough and brings down hundreds of yards of line.

Alle neueren Oberleitungsstromabnehmer elektrischer Triebfahrzeuge der DB AG sind in dieser Weise gesichert.

Most AC trains and DC trains that use Pantographs do get some kind of safety carbon pantograph protection that stops the suspension of the pantograph from getting damaged whilst speeding..
