It just seems to me the past year or so or maybe it never stops but there has been ALOT of lucky people that still have both feet.
One thing I cant do is auto trans rebuilds, gonna try soon but my point is for along time I cringed every time I thought of what the crt pro race trans cost me, I run that with a blanket on my street car and now with the procharger/nitrous setup, its like the dana rear end...I never worry and I bought the right trans the first time and still have two feet.
when does the blanket become manditory? I often thought of welding a steel plate under my right foot and up the tunnel.

I hate to see that. I wonder if the car had a driveline failure recently? (u-joint, drive shaft, rear end)
I would bet it did?? Glad he's ok!

I run a RCI blanket and it wraps all the way around the trans unlike that other pic. It has a few street miles on it and hasnt burned at all yet. It is real close to the collector but as long as its not touching I think your good!

Nope.
Nope, what? He lost half his foot when the clutch exploded, clear through the clutch can and cut the car in half at the cage. If he was running a two-speed it would have been a Lenco, otherwise it was direct drive.

Right,it wasn't related to a "powerglide" exploding and taking off his foot.
