If you doubt what damage a flywheel or pressure plate can cause when it comes apart at high rpm, look at the photo. I was called into court several times as an expert witness in cases involving an exploded clutches/flywheels. These ranged from clutch failures in a dump truck to a Top Fueler. One severed foot; the other a floater plate went through a lady's shoulder while she was sitting in the stands. If you're doing any high-horsepower, high-rpm driving, use a scatter shield, especially with a conventional clutch. Tilton and Quarter Master small-diameter clutches aren't nearly as dangerous.
