Default RE: Use a glove to handstart large engines!!

Hi... glad your injury is going to be fine.... now you know that these things we call toys can bite!!!! A little over a year ago I got my arm and a 32" prop. in contact with each other while the prop was spinning... End result was near loss of arm due to the cut and near loss of life due to blood loss ( 5 pints) and a $51,000 doctor bill and and still to this time a hand that is numb and some fingers that don't work right.

Please use extreme caution when around the spinning end of our toys.
