I was under the belief that the rev limiter will prevent the driver from blowing the engine because of high revs - BY MISTAKE - OR ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE.

Does the rev limiter actually prevent this by not allowing the engine to rev high enough to cause a problem?

If you are accelerating and forget to shift on time, yes, the limiter will kick in and keep you from over revving the engine. The limiter, however, will not save your butt if you accidentally shift from second to first instead of third.
