As aggravating as it is, this is why there are multiple safety switches/dead man switches that kick in on later pieces of equipment.  Hard lesson to learn.  Kids/adolescents do silly things. I’ve heard similar stories and even knew someone that survived a similar experience.   I’m surprised this lady’s legs were even able to hold her 130 lbs up.  I’ve heard other stories with mowers too.  Getting too close to lakes and it rolling on top the operator in the lake then drowning.   All preventable.  But deadly if not taken seriously.
