gyro accident

[Brian]

This is only a second hand report but story goes that throttle was wide open or somewhere around there when the engine was started and gyro ran over the young fella. Its something everyone needs to check everytime we start a engine. Never assume throttle is closed till visually inspected and its another thing instructors need to instill into every student.I have heard at least 3 occassions of this happening now !

According to another website, It may have actually been the prop he was hit by.http://www.recreationalflying.net/sh...79-Prop-Strike
