Default Would a tranny blanket stop this?

I was doin some lookin at the SRT8 jeep forums and came across this.

Would a tranny blanket stop this from makin it into the passenger compartment? I cant imagine is can. I had been lazy when I first put my car together and hadent put it in. But its goin in this time. Even if it only slows the carnage down.

When ya figure in that he was only revving it in park or neutral its scary to think of all that happeneing and ya wernt even moving. Goin 140 as well would have been a bad day. I cant imagine they would have even been able to clean that all up and use the lane the same day. But Im sure that Im wrong. GL

By the way, that's Brian's Jeep, aka BJB. From what I've read, that explosion is due to the incompetence of RDP Motorsports owner, Dyno Steve.
