David,
I'm sure it can be done. We had a older guy around my area that was nearly killed by his H.. I was YOUNG when it happened (as he's now been passed away for quite some time) but I can still recall my grandpa and uncles talk about it.. I don't know exactly what happened, or how, but I recall grandpa saying the tractor was going in circles, and he had ahold of the drawbar and it was dragging him around.. it finally hit something and stalled.
After the accident, he did something to all of his tractors, I believe it was a clutch switch (which leads one to believe he was starting from the ground).. I know who bought the tractor, but the tractor has been restored, and all the add-on's he did were removed..
I will however, side with the others who say EDUCATE the kids.. I have a 2 year old who likes to "help".. Before we ride, he will "help" pull the dipstick, stick the gas tank, and like myself, wiggle the shifter from side to side to insure it's in the neutral position.. I know he don't understand what we're doing at that age, but I'm trying to show him the right things to do. (he knows on our cub ya wiggle the shifter, pull the silver button, choke, and pull the starter.. If he could reach the pedals he'd be gone.. LOL) He has watched me do it so many times he just knows I guess..
Nothing wrong with added safety, but nothing seems to work as good as education.. Like was said, show them right and wrong things, and make them stick. We watched a farm safety video in FFA, and most of that seemed to stick pretty well for me..

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
