What is a "Dead Loop?"
Link to videoThe ‘Dead Loop’ is a classic gymnastic move that consists of a gymnast standing on the high bar, performing a backflip and grasping the bar again. Needless to say, it is a dangerous stunt and can go horribly wrong if the gymnast misses his or her footing or does not manage to grasp the bar in the end.

A friend was flying his cargo 747 from Hawaii to the west coast last night and got this "Pilot Response" message.
This pops up is neither pilot touches any controls or switches or buttons for a long period of time, I think it is usually set at about 1 hour.
This is rarely seen except for long flights like this one across the Pacific.
The 747 doesn't want the pilots to fall asleep.
