Actually Island-Flyer, the Bombardier AOM says that in flight selection below Flight Idle the "props would be driven uncontrollably to a reverse pitch condition"
This would probably overspeed the power turbine resulting in failure. If the crew in such a situation was lucky enough to get the props out of reverse, the only option left - with the power turbine failed - would be to feather the prop(s)
