Default Safety Tip...

Paul I feel for you as earlier this year I to had an oops. I to try to always be careful around the prop but I proved it only takes 1/2 second of carelessness to ruin your day. For me I choose to reach for the glow panel while trying to start a stubborn engine with out first letting the prop come to a full stop. So there I am at high idle with no hands on the plane and you guessed it the engine decides to catch. But alas I was lucky I only caught the tip of my left thumb installing a good size gash along the side of the nail that hurt like &%@!
Nice poem on a painful subject though.
