No switch. They run fine upside-down. Just flip it over and keep going.

You didn't ask if it had a bump in the road switch.

Haha, in all seriousness no. I rolled my first XJ a little over 4 times and it fired right up afterwards. Also its gotta be something working itself loose when you hit bumps. I've jumped mine multiple times and it's never shut off on me.
