I have an old laptop with a dead battery, and for a BIOS upgrade, it prevents me from updating without 50% battery. I have to type "danger" to bypass this restriction, and I thought it was pretty cool. Another good UI pattern is in Firefox, that it disables the Run button on downloads for a few seconds.

Disabling the "run" button for a few seconds was actually done to mitigate another risk -- sites cueing the user to click in a particular location, then triggering the confirmation dialog with the "run" button right where the user was about to click.
