Default Engine Break-in - Ouch

Engine---3W 75

Prop -----24-10

While starting (flipping the prop) with my bare hand today, I got careless and didn't move my hand quickly enough, and my two middle fingers caught the prop. Luckily my hand was already moving in the same direction as the prop and the damage wasn't too severe. No blood but extreme pain for about 2 hours. I will probably lose 2 fingernails because they have already turned partially black. Needless to say, next time I will either wear gloves or use something else to start it with.
