Eddyville June of 2013, front drum exploded and a friend just about lost his foot. He had a "shield". What was left of it looked like a yellow ball of yarn. It did NOTHING!. I would love to see or hear of a shield that actually worked, because I doubt they do. It would just seem the physics of it can't work.

I put a blanket on mine two days later. I have seen numerous drums explode, and it is spectacular. 13 second truck in St. Louis sent a guy to the hospital in 2014 that left a fist size chunk stuck in the windshield.

Don't take it lightly, matter how fast you are.


BTW, the friend above, now has protection AND a 1/4 plate steel over the trans hump for the floor extending well past the gas pedal.
