Did something lock up to cause the failure? I wouldn't think it would break at that speed by itself unless it was alrady cracked for some reason.

We went over a bridge when it went and pretty sure bottomed out what caused it

As mentioned glad no one got hurt but when you break a d-shaft at those speeds you can loose controll. even the the cheap $25 bolt together kits help keep it together. I hope he thinks twice on the next one.
