Not exactly sure how many, but I do have a nice scar for a trophy. I've been at it 15 years and have always been careful; all it takes is one brain freeze and off to the hospital you go.

I did something simmilar, stuck my hand straight into a ST .45 Luckily it was at idle and luckily I wnet right up to the spinner. It knocked my hand out and kept right on running. My pinky nail still grows with a split right down the middle. Last time I did that. Now I reach way up and around that sucker, most times I just wait nutill I get behind the plane to run it up. Then I don't have as much to worry about.
