I've seen plenty of 212/412 pilots crank on the throttle friction so tight that you need a pipe wrench to undo them. I don't know why, it's just dumb. No hope of winding both throttles off with one hand if the TR drive fails whilst in hover. Certainly not if the guy in the left seat is the one driving. I'd get the throttles off in a 76 well before said 212/412 driver can wind theirs off.
