WHEN THE PLT ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENG, IT 'HUNG UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COMPRESSION STROKE.' HE STATED THAT AFTER CONFIRMING THAT THE MAGNETOS WERE OFF, HE ATTEMPTED TO 'FREE THE PROPELLER BY HAND.' THE ENG STARTED AS SOON AS THE PROPELLER WAS MOVED. THE NON-PLT PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT TRIED TO STOP THE AIRPLANE WITH THE MAGNETO SWITCH. HOWEVER, THE ACFT CONTINUED ABOUT 100 YDS, ROLLED THRU A GUARD RAIL & NOSED DOWN INTO A CANAL. THE MAGNETO SWITCH WAS FOUND IN THE 'BOTH' POSITION, FUEL MIXTURE WAS FULL RICH & THE THROTTLE WAS ADVANCED. A CHECK OF THE MAGNETOS REVEALED NO MALFUNCTION.
