Hi JDSanders
I too have cut myself MANY times doing the same thing you did. To prevent what happened to you (reduce the chances of it happening) we have 8 Engine Starting Safety Stands at our field. After the engine starts we walk to a point behind the wing and then safely remove the glow driver. What is important is to use a safe routine so that even if you are not being properly attentive, the chances are with you that you will be safe. We use the Engine Starting Safety Stands shown at http://www.wilsonrc.org/download.php?list.18
