Could be worse. He could have been the guy I saw fly out of MFD that forgot about his tow bar. He was in a Piper Cherokee (probably 160HP). When the prop hits a tow bar on start up, it gets loud. Of course the guys flying the plane decided to just go pick up their tow bar, taxi, and then depart the airport.

There was also a prop strike at PMP about three weeks ago now. The twin had gear problems, landed and the nose wheel collapsed on them. The best part is when they tried to move the aircraft and one of the mains decided to retract.
