Why are props not held on with shear pins?
Post Body
I was watching this FlightChops video about a Super Cub that hit a fuel pump bollard and destroyed the engine. Prop strikes almost always result in a destroyed engine or worse. A set of shear pins could have prevented significant engine damage, but it doesn't seem to be the case that aircraft use them. Why not?
