So add a kill-cord switch just like an outboard and clip the kill-cord

gets away from you it shuts down.

The wheel drive requires hands-on, it's just the auger that can be
latched. But you could idiot proof the auger by using a kill cord to
shut down the engine if one moves from behind the blower. That way you
couldn't go and stick your fingers in the chute and have the moving
impeller chop them off. Fortunately I don't let idiots run my snow
blower and such precautions are unnecessary.
