Uh, lawnmowers DO have a dead-man's switch.

I wonder what percentage of lawnmowers with deadman switches have not
had them bypassed or disabled? A few exotic magnets took care of mine
the first time I fired it up, and within a week I dug up a big cable tie
to immobilize that silly rear skirt so I could pull the mower backwards.
(How can you mow under stuff without pulling it backwards? Idiots.)
My changes will take 30 seconds to reverse once it comes time to sell or
junk the mower.
