Default My belt about flew off the other day

It was almost completely off. just setting on about 2 ribs on the pullys. It was setting in the same place on all the pullys. It done it after I was ripping on the car pretty hard. I put it back on and have drove it for a couple days and it's still fine. What would of caused this?
Also lastnight I changed my timing chain and got some coolant on the pullys and now the belt squeaks. Is this because of the coolant? Hope it didn't mess up the belt.

get a bigger idler pully. i cant remember the PN off the top of my head, do a search for it. it was caused by high RPM's. your lucky, when this happened to me, it totally threw it up and shreaded the under hood padding and left a nice outward dent in my hood.
