Hard to say if disabling would be reasonably possible.
I do know this, if I were the one responsible for anyone that may get
hurt I would not allow anyone to bypass the system. Considering the
issue that Ryobi, had with the law suite and loosing to the guy that cut
his fingers off a few years ago, I think the jury might burn the guilty
party at the stake if someone had bypassed the braking system.


Oh, certainly in today's litigation-prone climate, "fer shure, good buddy!"

There's no explaining stupidity/ignorance/emotion over reason with a
jury other than siding against "deep pockets" even in the case of
absolutely rampant stupidity by the plaintiff in doing what they did to
cause the injury.

About as stupid as the McDonald's coffee between the legs.
