Default Shear pin?

PEKRWUD, you need to put a shear pin in those things, like there used to be in outboard motors. That way, if you hit a stump with the prop, all it did was shear a brass pin and didn't ruin the motor. Seems like something on that order would have saved the engine in that sprint car.
