Default RE: Protecting yourself

Sometimes I am amazed...

With all of the posts and talk about safety, it never ceases to amaze me how people put themselves in a risky position.

Yesterday I went out to my local field; first time I had been in several months. There was a person that I did not know hand starting a small twin; no chicken stick. And then he was tuning the engines from the front while reaching over the props. This is bad enough when there is one engine, but two, that takes the cake. Amazing.

I hope he does not become a statistic on the forums.
