Impossible for a person to hold prop stationary once condition lever moved out of feather
It is possible to hold the prop steady of any free turbine during start but you get to the point where the torque is such that it becomes more than you can hold, standard practice on the Britannia for reasons I forget, something done on helicopters at times as well.
