1. A work machine having an ordinary operating condition, the work machine comprising:
a chassis;
an engine and a battery supported on the chassis;
a starter supported on the chassis and electrically coupled to the engine and the battery;
a sensor supported on the chassis and configured to measure an amount of deviation of a current operating condition of the work machine from the ordinary operating condition of the work machine; and
a circuit interrupter electrically coupled to the sensor and positioned between the battery and the starter; in which the circuit interrupter is configured to interrupt a flow of electrical current from the battery to the starter if the amount of deviation measured by the sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold value; and
in which the sensor is configured to direct the engine to shut down if the amount of deviation measured by the sensor exceeds the predetermined threshold value.
