Default RE: Beware of Surprise engine start

Lean on the crank handle of the Model A, or lean against the propeller of an airplane and
see what happens....nothing will happen....sorry.
Well I could see a man proping his leg on a Model A crank at the 3 O'clock position with enough force on a worn engine to turn over the engine with enough speed to fire engine. We have a couple of members start their T's with light foot action. Total mag 1914 and 1912.........Just like propping foot up on a log...........
