I don't think they do, like you said, would be a pain to deal with. I think often times the content in news articles is stated by those who speculate, theorize etc., what would have saved this guy near me would have been a seatbelt and r.o.p.s, though the tractor stayed upright, he got bounced off, even if the tractor shut off, you still have all that energy in the driveline and mower.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
