Default RE: Prop Bites!!!

5 years ago I was getting frusterated with a Thunder tiger .42 spinning a 10X6 Master aircrew prop and without even thinking pulled my hand through the path of the idling prop. That was enough to slice through my index finger 5 times in a perfectly spaced fashion. My buddy drove me to the ER and nothing some stitches and some of that ER superglue couldnt fix up. I got lucky though, it went deep but not deep enough for nerve damage, I made a 100% recovery besides the battle scars. Needless to say I am very careful around spinning props now. Definately something to never let your guard down around. Funny though it didnt feel like a cutting feeling. It felt like someone hit my finger moderately with a hammer 5 times in a super fast succession.
