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?

Make a jumper for the safety switch?

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

Stop it with all the bypass info please. Safety switches are there for a reason.

Having said that......... Tape the plunger down on the switch. Or a zip tie, something that will hold the plunger down.

This is for TESTING ONLY. Don't try to mow with it in this condition.
