Less than the chance of the original emergency killing you!

That’s what the full trim is for. It makes the aircraft pitch away once you let go of the stick.

Imagine letting the nose fully roll over and having to time the ejection at max inertia... or you are doing a Dr. Strangeglove meets True Lies. So delightful.
