Lawn mower safety features that actually prevent injuries or death

Lawn mower safety features that actually prevent injuries or death

The Issue

My Grandaughter had to have her foot amputated because of a lawn mower accident.  I understand the personal responsibility for this unfortunate accident, but I feel there needs to be "non-defeating" system safety measures put on all lawn mowers.  What is the sense of providing a safety feature if it is allowed to be defeated with a key switch or button.
