This guy almost did after his engine blew during a tractor pull event. Check it out.

Looks like he kaboomed it pretty good. He's lucky the top of that engine didn't land on him.

I've carried one from the truck into the shed to start building it. But it wasn't exciting like that video!

Had a 390 Ford motor land on my leg once.

I have seen a couple of top fuel Hemis launch the motor like that.
They split the block at the top of the main bearings.
Luckily they were rear motor dragsters.
