Yeah, a friend of mine with a 54 Y block had a blade come off and exit the hood. I NEVER stand in line with a spinning fan. They do work harden and break as theorized above. My 40s both have NOS fans as well as the 33. 32 5w is another story, I am thinking I should swap it out. As Chuck Yeager said "never wait for trouble".
