Incident narrative

Incident: When I was riding my snowmobile in a ditch along side a public road the drive clutch had exploded into multiple pieces like a bomb. Pieces shot through the side panel the belly pan and down by the running board where you put your feet. I watched one of the pieces fly about 30 feet in the air and the rest of the pieces where scattered in about a 40 ft radius. Fortunately I didn't have my foot forward where the foot slot is otherwise my foot/leg would of been injured and no one else was riding around me that they could of been injured from flying shrapnel.
