I love the YouTube fail, that's classic!!![]()
I just dont get the "clutch blowing up" part...
Here's a collection of fails. I lol'd at about all of them, now it's your turns.

Yup. Clutches don't explode through the hood. Flywheels will... it could also be a piston.
Well, to me is quite clear that was a piston! Never heard of clutchs exploding or flywheels "flying"!
Ummm, hello? That's exactly why drag cars are required to have a transmission safety blanket. Considering the orientation of the engine in your alleged Civic, and the location that the flywheel sits in, I'd be careful before doing a lot of hard clutch drops if I were you... at least if you want kids at some future date.
flywheels "flying"!
That's because Civics in Portugal are obviously.... different
Flywheels don't go fliying, they shatter with "explosive" force.
I find it amusing how that Neon driver walks around unsure what to do like he is in shock.
When it happens, it's usually a lightweight performance flywheel... a "lightened" stock flywheel... or a warped flywheel. Yes, flywheels can warp over time and use, and you sometimes have to have them resurfaced at a machine shop when you change your clutch... I had to do this to mine, since clutch engagement has been iffy since new... typically, the US boys get a recall out of it... but I have to pay for it out of my own pocket.
Warping causes an imbalance that adds extra stress to the flywheel... which, over time, added to the heat generated by clutch use, can lead to explosive failure. Lightweight flywheels, on the other hand, or excessively lightened stock flywheels, might not be able to take the stress in the first place.
So why not google it? Not many people here are dumb enough to have actually had a flywheel explode in their faces. It takes a monumental amount of stress or power or stupid to do it.
