You will understand the kill switch once you roll inverted and strapped in. Your whole sense of direction is off. The kill switch is just pushed to kill. Secondly it serves as a fail safe if for whatever reason the key switch fails, ie. rollover knee strikes key breaking it off, buggy returns to upright position with throttle locked wide open. These are reasons the product safety comm. mandated kill switches be installed from their research into offroad accidents where people are seriously injured or killed. One may never have the need to use it but if or when a problem arises it will be your best friend.
That was the first thing that came to my mind was that, the switch was there in case of a roll over. I'm switching to switches in both buggies. No more key.
