Hi,

Just wanted to chine in here - if you don't know what a "scattershield" 
is, it is basically a blanket of some sort of "ballistic" material, such 
as Kevlar(tm)... the idea is that as the "shield" dissipates the energy 
of the flying pieces before they can hurt you (or others!). Think 
bullet-proof vest.

I too have seen some damage from flywheels gone haywire. Not pretty.

I think I'll pull out my Summit catalog tonite and figure out what sort 
of suitable device they have for my car.

C ya.
