Actually wasn't thinking of knees, but, getting enough rpm to have the magneto make some sort of spark is really hard for smaller skinny people. I suppose bad knees would make that even worse, depending on how the knee fails. On my harley, it was a locked knee kick after jumping up using the other leg. A backfire could probably break my leg.
