Default Engine Break-in - Ouch

I saw the prop spin off a trainer on startup at the field Saturday.. pieces went flying and the nut put a hole in the fuselage of another trainer parked nearby... but he got the nut back ..

It looks to me like you can never be too careful around these things.. anything that turns up to 12,000 rpm can put a lot of damage out....
