clutch fan vs standard fan

Flex fans also can zing a blade through the hood. Motor mount could go and a fixed fan could eat the shroud and then some. Something can always happen on a failure. Water pump can go with any fan and toss a fan through the radiator. I personally wouldn't run a flex fan if i planned on being under the hood with the engine running at all. Just my 2cents.
I had a standard fan throw a blade into the battery
