I've only had one crank failure in 47 years, back in about 1981 when running the PD on our spare engine (1934, un-rebuilt and of unknown provenance). This happened in the course of an emergency stop from over 50mph. Luckily, it was a very clean break between journals 3 and 4 and everything stayed pretty much in the right place.
