I spent some time in the Coast Guard riding small open boats in fairly rough seas. The coxswain (boat driver) would have a lanyard tied to his wrist that went to a kill switch. The idea was that if he fell overboard, the lanyard would pull this special key out that automatically killed the engine. I don't think it would be too hard to duplicate this for a tractor. Might be a worthwhile safety feature when operating non-ROPS/no seatbelt tractors. Maybe someone already makes such a device? A commerical item would probbaly be better than a home-made one.

I too have scared myself thinking of what could happen if I fell off the seat while disking. I will definitely be more careful knowing it's not just all in my head.
