If you hand prop correctly, it is not a problem. You should NOT hook your fingers around the blade. You press your hand against the face of the blade. In case of a backfire your hand won't get jerked into the prop or break your hand/fingers. Most people incorrectly hook their finger tips around the back of the prop, which is not a good idea.
You should also be stepping back, away from the prop when hand propping. Do NOT lean into or toward the engine.

Hand propping always kinda scared me.? Also, I've read many articles where it is strongly advised NOT to hand prop an automobile engine (probably because they rev up so high so quickly.)
