Jump starting an under-seat battery?

One of my mowers has the battery under the seat and has a safety switch that requires the seat to be down and depressed before it will start. With someone in the seat I can't see any way that a set of jumper cables would fit under there without running the very real risk of grounding the + cable. How does someone jump start a mower with the battery under the seat?

Put a jumper wire in the switch to make it think someone is sitting in the seat while you jump start it.
