I remember the Mazda RX-7 when people where pushing the 9,500 rpm band and flywheels were coming of the vehicle thus injuring the drivers. But it can happen in any engine that spins that fast.

Geez, thats not cool

What's not cool? The flywheel severing the driver's feet and injuring others or revving that high?

I know what you meant.
