I wasn't intending to imply you were stupid. These things happen fast with little time to reflect. So now that we do have time to reflect, I was only intending to plant a seed in other people's minds that if it happens to them, stop the engine as soon as possible. Even then it could be too late since it would be very unusual for someone to see the oil pressure guage dropped to zero the second it occurred. Which leads us back to the threads on audible oil pressue loss indicators.
