[Roadsters] throttle body backfire -- enough to take my fingers off?

All,

Still trying to start my car.  And, for reasons to numerous to explain(history 
of jamming), I've been tempted to lift my SU's by hand while I'm trying to 
start the car. The only risk is that the car has been backfiring through the 
throttle body.  Not often, but enough to make me concerned that if I stick my 
hands in there during a start that I'll lose a finger in the bargain.

Any thoughts? What care should I take in handling a throttle body backfire -- 
are these strong enough to turn tools into weapons?  Take a finger off? . . .
