Not able to sprint on Tacx neo?

So my girlfreind's dad has a Tacx neo trainer and regulary uses zwift, last night he let me have a go on it.

I only had half an hour as he uses it every night, so 20 minuets in I went to go for a full sprint effort as we always joke about who can put the most power down, so just as I go to leap forwards, it was like it slipped and then basically locked on and took huge effort to turn the cranks over, it was only once I turned it off & on again it was ok?

I'm not a 2000W sprinter, I'd have put out 1000-1100 max, surely a turbo trainer like this should be able to handle that all day long?

Anyway, I didn't tell him what had happened but I'm not in any rush to get back on it if that's what happens when you apply some power.
