I thought I would comment on this thread since I personally have been touched by an accident related to an issue related to a prop. The pilot in this accident is a friend. He is a mechanic by trade and is very detailed conscious individual.

 

I talked to him after the accident about his experience and it was scary to hear the violence he experienced in the plane before he was able to shut it down. He told me that he could not reache forward to pull the mixture. Instead, he had to run his hand down his leg to reach the mags.

 

Because of his accident, I have my prop looked at routinely and overhauled on a regular basis.

This seems to be a dead link now. Do you have a date and aircraft type so I can read this report. I'd like to read what happened to  your friend.
