From what I remember about the 240U that Pappy had back in the '70's, with the way the seat is made...as long as your seat has the original backrest, it'd be hard for much anything to knock you off that seat either to the sides or backwards, unless it could lift you into a near-standing position to begin with.
I don't think a kill switch would save your life anyway if using a brush hog...because there's no disengagement between the engine and the PTO to allow an over-running clutch to do its work. Instead, the mower would act like a giant flywheel and continue to drive the engine until the "flywheel"energy is dissipated.
An independent PTO might help, but only if the IPTO was set to disengage when the emergency switch killed the engine as well...and I'm not engineer enough to tell you how you could set that up, enen if the 240U had come with IPTO [which it didn't].
