either your hydraulics took a dump or your T/O bearing is toast..

As they said your T/O bearing or your master cylinder/slave cylinders are shot. Check your clutch fluid level and if you are not able to even move the pedal it's prob your M/C as it is seized, happens when over time moisture rusts the piston. Easy fix, you just have to be gumby when crawling under the dash to unbolt the old one. Let me know if you need any advise replacing it as I just did mine bout 8 months ago.

When this happened to me (just a couple of months ago) it was my second SPEC 3+ = it exploded; yes at idle, yes, in my driveway too... Good luck!

When I had this happen to me the throwout bearing was toast, and like a idiot I forced the pedal down and then had a cracked slave.

the T/O bearing has a lip on it so the fork can do its job and some occasions that lip breaks and causes the T/O bearing to shift off of the disk so it then wedges itself on the input shaft...i will bet the bearing is trashed in this case.
