I'll stick to my guns on this idea unless a better one presents itself. It requires a conscious act by the operator to disengage the safety but only in the short term. Just like a RIO switch. It provides the flexibility to the operator to stand without sacrificing the safety provided during normal operation. It would also be hard enough to defeat that maybe folks wouldn't try as long as the flexibility for the operator is still there, even if you have to push a button.

Not as fool proof as the current system though as I can see a scenario where you are standing up mowing while on override, hit a hole that throws you from the tractor and it would keep on going.
