I agree with the secondary switch or just disconnect the battery. I am a little strange in the respect of showing what I have. I don't necessarily encourage kids climbing all over my machinery although I certainly won't discourage it. I think of the times my brother and I raced each other on my Dad's and Grandpas unrunning tractors. I think of the fine neighbor I had that let me touch, play and eventually operate solo his 50hp Case Steamer. I can only hope I can give some child those types of memories. Humans by nature, and even more so children learn and experience by touching. Let em touch. Let them enjoy your enjoyment. I enjoy working on em and if they get a love blemish... I get to work on them some more. That doesn't mean the kids have full range to beat the thing with a hammer of course. Switches being switched is part of the game though. Common sense is something to be practiced (and taught ) too.

I have a theory that Lawyers took over and common sense went out the window when electric fans became impossible to put a finger into. Mom would say "don't put your finger in there" over and over then one day WHACK! and your finger knew from then on don't be stuck into something moving. Once the fan was shrouded it became the manufactures fault a finger got hurt and thus another life-long lesson is learned that is a far cry from "your actions have cinsiquences". Heck I'm ready to sue the ZERO fan co. now!
