if its on an old thumper i cant see it been much of a problem if its doing 10Krpm things are a bit diffrent

Check out this flywheel mishap. I know it wasn't welded just turning too fast but the oomph is still there...Bob

There could be a thousand reasons

We need the OP to post more detail otherwise we are speculating without much info

as said a picture of it . size and how many rpm its dong will be the governing factor as to how and if repair is an option given that its a restoration project

If it is a high rpm monster could always take the drag racers approach and make a scatter shield to catch it if it does explode
