Mower with safety gripper

They're on every mower: warning signs reading "don't reach near the blades while mowing" - Perfectly sensible advice, ensured by the length of the control rods, so it's physically impossible to do so while still holding on to the gas lever. However, it means that every time you encounter a toy/stone/bush with very low branches/ect. in your path, you have to stop the mower, go and move the offending object and start the mower again. An answer to this is a long (6 feet) version of those gripper things people use to pick up trash (where you squeeze the handle to close the pincers at the other end) which clips on to the mower when not in use. Like this, you can stand safely behind the still-running mower, remove the obstacle and keep going.
