Default Thrown a Belt?

Has anyone ever broke one or threw a belt? Tonight while testing ont the new EWP I was 10 miles from home when the belt snaped. If I had not had the EWP I feel certain the car would be on the side of the road still. Now I have to figure out why it ate a belt.

How many miles were on the belt? Has it ever thrown one before?

This may be helpful...it depends on the cause.

Ya but the car only had 3900 on the OD total. Guess I'll look into a new one or a Katech if I kill a 2nd belt.
