My understanding was that it senses the shaft spinning and acts as a master "everything is ok" switch. In the event of a collision, the shaft stops and the CPS kills everything, including the potentially deadly flow of fuel.

A pain in the butt to change and not robustly built as one would hope, but cheap and keeps you from maybe blowing up.
