Not that weird. Just about every year you'll hear about some idiot losing a 
hand clearing a blockage with the snowblower running and somebody else holding 
the augur control on. Or they tie the control on so they can reach in.I don't 
even reach in if its off, I've seen too many cases where I dislodge something 
with a stick and theres sufficient torque in there to grab the stick...

It's not weird to say that one should not clear a blockage with one's
hand. It is weird to say one should not clear a blockage with, give a
list that is a) foot, b) hand, c) head, d) all of the above and then
say the correct answer is d) all of the above. At least the way I
think. :-)
