Cranking a car can be rather DANGEROUS, as it might backfire, & if your hand is too tight on the crank, or you have yr fingers around the crank the wrong way, it CAN break yr arm. That happened a LOT back in T model days. Happily, not so much any more, but I think the same thing CAN happen w/any "Crank" started engine.. Cranks have also been known to fly off, hit the starting person in the head, & kill him..
