Fire and exploding snowmobile

Puts a new meaning on the phrase ,, BombRider LaLaLa

I don't always ride a Skidoo .... but when I do it's like riding Semtex :jump:
 
I assume by that point in the fire most of the gas had burned ...
So what do you think caused it to pop like that.

That is a classic Magnesium and water explosion, fire probably burned long enough to get the magnesium burning and all it would,take is a bit of melted snow.

Reminds me of responding to a vehicle on fire when I was a Fire Fighter and we found out that year of VW Beetle had a magnesium block.

On the bright side it is a pretty fireworks show if you are standing far enough away!!!

FYI- your Genesis Engines have a good chunk of magnesium in the engine. If it catches fire you have less then a minute before the magnesium could light off too. When that happens don't throw snow! RUN!!!

Then call your,insurance company and find a new sled ;)
