"Motor racing is dangerous..."

[Rubin215]

Slightly off topic, but I have seen a piston in a diesel bus engine break a chunk off the cylinder head and both chunk and piston end up inside the passenger area having burst up through the floor panels.
The bus was a learner vehicle and was trundling down the dual carriageway when it happened.

That looks nasty, reading the comments, apparently it was the spark plug being fired out after a back fire on nitrous fuel!

Funnily enough, there are people on the thread doubting whether it really happened

This thread is a good reminder of why I don't look at PH much anymore.

Very interesting writeup, but the main issue in this thread is, did the pistons stay inside the engine or did they fly dangerously around the car endangering track supposts.
At least that is what I understood from all the comments above.
