Well - do you remember that film where the bloke loses his hands while
swinging the prop a biplane? Might have been the one about Douglas
Bader.

Well, like that.

If it's a self propelled cylinder mower like my old Webb, you can push/ 
bump start it like a car; powre switch to on, clutch down, push forward 
until you get some momentum then dump the clutch.

Safely - No.
Unsafely -Yes.

Take the pull start cover off, get a suitable bit rope and wrap it around the cup on top off the flywheel. Ensure you hold the rope in such away, that if it was to get pulled back in, it would pull out off your hand and not pull you into the engine. And give it a good pull
