First, if you're brush hogging in an unknown area like that, SLOW DOWN! These tractors are not dune buggies, and the wheels should NEVER leave the ground. The frames of these tractors are not meant to take large shock loads like that, and even a short hop can cause the tractor to break in half in the torque tube area, or the front end to snap off.

Second, a dead man switch won't save you if you fall off the seat. The mower and tractor have enough momentum that you'll be in pieces six feet behind the mower before the tractor even thinks of slowing down.

Third, if you fall off the seat because of a broken seat spring, what are you doing with your hands? You need a firm grip on the steering wheel with at least one hand at all times just to keep the tractor under control. If/when the seat spring breaks, the worst thing that should happen is your butt drops a few inches.
