Default Kill switch question

Just a quick question...is starting my car without fuel pressure say 3-5 times really bad for the engine? I know running lean is bad, but here's the deal -- I just installed a few kill switches, and I keep forgetting to flip them all! So I let my engine die a few times (3-5). I won't forget anymore, but is this seriously harmful for the engine?

Yeah, I'm stupid and forgot a few times .

its not that bad for the engine
over time if you keep forgeting a lot maybe there will be some extra stress

Lol! 56 switches...run into any problems with current?

If I had 56 switches, I'l put half of them on the dash in plain sight, and hide the rest. The theif would crap his/her pants the second he/she looked at the dash haha. Too bad I only have around half of that .

A thumbprint scanner in a push button starter would be cool.
