Don’t these things have a kill switch, like motorbikes?

Ohh yes plenty of that. I thought “Ooops” summed it up nicely.

Came to observe similar thoughts - these things should never be ridden without a speedboat-type kill switch.

Perhaps the kill switch was on the handlebar, and the wiring got shorted out? It seemed to me like he was trying to use the kill switch and it didn’t work.

The kill switch doesn’t work the way you think.
It’s not a deadman’s loop that has to remain connected to keep the motor running. It’s a button that when pressed shorts a wire to ground, killing the motor. Yanking the wires out of the machine doesn’t kill it, it prevents it from being killed.
Small engines provide their own operational power to keep the sparks flying, and they don’t need the key, extra wires, or batteries to keep running. To kill them safely you have to short out a spark plug or interrupt the electricity at the points. That’s what the kill switch does.

That Polaris ATV came with a kill switch. Not sure what happened here though.
