It is never good to bypass safeties. I do not and most others here also advise how to bypass them. We do only to test but restore their function before releasing equipment back to the owner/operator. It is not only a safety issue but is a liability issue. Personally I will not be responsible for someone getting injured because a safety has been disabled. In my area alone I know two case where kids have been ran over. One I don't know if the kid survived but the little girl did lose most of one of her feet. I also a customer that another shop installed the wrong safety switch. When the customer was knocked off his mower, it continue on without him and slammed into his wife's new car. At least I wasn't involved other than noting the wrong switch was installed. The customer's lawsuit is still pending against the other shop.
