I know of two.
When I was very small, the neighbor's kid was hit by a thrown stone and killed.
So that's one.
Which wouldn't have been helped by any kind of cutout switch.
A push mower can throw a stone just as easily. Neither of them would usually kill anyone. Probably just as likely to be killed by a fly entering your eye while cycling, causing you to be temporarily blinded and crash headlong into a tree.
Because of that, my Dad refused to ever have a power mower, so I mowed the lawn with a manual push mower until I left the house.
that's two.
How is it two? You weren't injured.
Whoosh!
A "push mower" is not a "power mower"
It works on muscle power.
