Default Another dumb move.

Sorry about the large pictures. I couldn't figure how to resize.

This was my first run of an ASP 91 4stroke. I did the #1 law. Don't put your hand over the Prop while engine's running!!!!

I've had a few nicks and close ones in the 60 years I've been off and on flying. I did this about 9 days ago. It broke the prop at the hub. I have somewhere between 25-30 stitches. The Doc. had to cut some skin away due to damage. It hit the tendons and luckily didn't go through. from the thumb back about and inch it started out in the Bone, The knuckle wanted some action and pulled the Prop into it. it took most of the skin away there and shaving some bone with it. The top of my knuckle was cut in half. The are that's black contains most of the stitches they are laid one on top of the others.Then it took a trip around to the other side only requiring a couple more stitches.
