Yikes Frank.  I guess you don’t have a video;  eh?  What engine was it where the flywheel exploded?

I didn’t see the actual accident, just the guy when he dropped by for a visit a number of weeks afterwards.  It was a cast iron flywheel on an industrial engine, (a Wisconsin, I think), mounted in a midget race car.  The thing blew up in his face and punched a few holes in his head.  He survived but was never the same after that.
