Yes, that arrangement always worries me. If you have a velocity governor, though, the throttle plate is pivoted such that the airflow acts to close the throttle, while the governor spring acts to open it. Thus if the governor spring breaks or its lever slips on the shaft, the throttle will close automatically.
