Why did the property come off in the video? The rotating mass of the prop wants to go one constant speed. A reciprocating engine speeds up and slows down as it goes through the combustion cycle. Only a strengthened crank end can sustain the stress. If the rest of his construction is as well engineered he will certainly die. If he can avoid groundlooping, The plane will fly, high enough to kill him when the ground rises up to smite him.
