Yea, until...

You pull the handle several times...

Then the engine starts unexpectedly...

It scares you, so you let go of the rope...

The rope gets sucked back into the engine like a piece of spaghetti...

The plastic handle whips around violently...

It goes into the prop arc...

The prop severs the rope and at the same time flings the plastic handle at warp speed toward the flightline hitting a pilot who is flying a $3000 Giant Scale Extra 300 knocking him to the ground unconscious...

His plane does a death spiral into the nearby hospital for orphans killing 3 and injuring 27...

And all this, because you didn't want to buy an electric starter.
