Re: Flywheel and fingers do not mix.
That's a nasty accident. I hope it heals up quickly and well.
It's a good time to remind everyone about spinning parts on our outboards. It's so easy to have a lapse of attention and get injured. I'm reminded of something my father told me when I first started using a table saw. He said, "Son, every time you start to push a board through that saw, say to yourself, 'that saw can take my fingers right off.'"
Since my Dad was always a wise man, I said that to myself everytime I used a table saw, and extended it to all other power equipment. So far, so good. Once you start saying something like that regularly, it becomes a habit. I can't use any power tool now without hearing that warning in my head.
