Exploding clutch fan ?

I'm sure you've read the odd post here and there about an exploding clutch fan that kills everything and sometimes makes a big dent in the hood. It only comes loose while driving. Those who post that here go onto say that they've done away with the vicsous clutch fan entirely and switched to an electric fan.

If you have done that, you may still have trouble. Apparently, the fan falls apart in that way due to issues caused by bad engine mounts. Please see :
