Default Careless

I think that 90% of us have clipped our fingers at one time or other but mostly pride is hurt more than flesh. We all forget the important safety rules but there is one accident that is going to be a real loo loo. I cringe when I see guys wearing a transmitter neck strap hanging loose while their transmitter is on the ground at their side. There they are flipping the prop. One day, and I hope I am not there to see it the engine is going to start and that neck strap is going to get caught in the prop. You can fill in the grisly details but his wife is not going to be too happy when she sees what happens when a face is pulled into a prop.
