Analysis

While trying to start the acft with a low battery, PIC exited the acft and pulled the propeller one quarter of a turn to get it past the compression cycle. Engine started with pax aboard and proceeded to taxi. PIC was unable to stop the acft, and pax, after trying to stop the acft, opened the door and jumped out. Acft continued for about one half mile, on to a soft farm field and nosed over.
