there's literally two other similar switches right next to those?

The switches on the lower panel that are switched, are the fuel cutoffs

But they don't look protected or hard to switch?

The pilot is toggling the switch on.

Toggling it off presumably requires more power and is multiple actions.

You move those switches down apparently. I don't think so.

Up/Forward ==> Run ==> Fuel supply is on

Down/Backwards ==> Cutoff ==> Fuel supply is off
