blower belt fell off

anyway to prevent this?
I came up with an idea, I will jack up the idle airflow in the tune at high rpms so the throttle doesnt shut completely that quick and will instead keep some momentum, thats what my ZR1 used to do.
Any mechanical way to prevent this? Any point in switching to an 8rib and an HD tensioner?

Designing an independent drive for the SC is ideal but expensive. Abrupt throttle changes throw belts frequently, just a nature of the SC. With an independent belt, you can toss the SC belt and still limp where you're going. A stronger tensioner and higher flange pulleys help, but are no permanent fix
Yep....it takes a while but you actually "learn" how to work the gas pedal correctly to keep this from happening.

It took a few tosses for me to get the "roll out of the throttle" notion too
Its a good idea to keep a spare belt and wrench in the car because sometimes you just have to do it and theres always a risk of the belt being eaten
