Everyone should already have a quick disconnect already built into their electrical system. It is called the Master solenoid or contactor.
I run my starter cable through the Master solenoid so that when the Master is off the Starter cable is not Hot. This is not that uncommon as Piper does the same thing. I looked at the wiring schematic for my Piper Warrior when I was wiring my homebuilt and discovered this trick. If the starter sticks simply turn off the Master switch. Problem solved.

Problem solved unless the starter current welds the master solenoid. What then?
