Also reinforces another great rule..

Never fire up an engine more than yelling distance away from someone...especially being in a wheelchair

It could just have easily came quicker and got your hand, or even worse, your wrist, it doesnt take long to bleed out from a cut wrist, if you dont get something on it in about 30 seconds, your going to become so disoriented you wont be able to help yourself, and that would be a silly way to go out.

I had an electric park flyer bite me in the wrist, was suprised to look down and see how deep it got my wrist...it was clean through the skin and i could see the muscle...another fraction of an inch and it would have been an artery, and i was not near anyone...(my blade was sharpened - not by choice, just a few landings on concrete...)

Complacency really can kill...
