Without a doubt, that is the most blatant example of pilot incompetence with respect to engine handling I have ever witnessed in 35+ years of aviation and 25 years as a Check Pilot.
That company had their Operating Certificate suspended and they were never able to get things together enough to get it back. Mercifully, they no longer risk the lives of the public.
I flew the Beaver for roughly 1,500 hours on floats, and seeing one grossly abused like this is shameful.

they need to put a door on newer model planes to where if the pilots continously does the wrong thing, itll come open and a boxing glove on a sping will knock them senseless

Actually I think it's ok to get her running like this considering it was minus 40 degrees. The battery wouldn't have lasted too long anyway. I don't think that many of the posters ever started anything in that kind of weather. Minus 40 ??? Visualize, people. Visualize .

Oh my, she wasn't very happy with you that morning. Everybody else, why are you being so rough on this guy. What are you, the human ether can, everything you start just pops right off? Besides, rough cold starts are better than the ones where the machine fires right up anyway.

No not very happy at all.
It was not a good morning for any of us, the wind was cutting with -60c to -80c windchill at that point.
Then add the Engine might self destruct.
Pretty Rough...ah Ya!
Got to luv the North ;)
