Lawn mower still runs after pulling spark plug wire??

My lawnmower has been pretty much a POS since I bought it (Craftsman 6.75 HP mulching self propelled). It's never mulched right, leaves clumps, bogs down easily, and the drive broke a couple years after I bought it. Well today, the dead man switch went, so there wasn't a way to shut it down, so I pulled the spark plug wire thinking that would kill it immediately. It ran for a good 45-60 seconds after!!

How can that be?
