Seriously, I’m curious too - I have a GP760 & cannot even figure how that is possible?!? Is there body damage too....?

Nope, firewall is unscathed! ripped all the teeth off the crank side and bent it self but never touched anything else somehow

Stock couplers do break, usually only one ear breaks off. The vibration is incredible.

GP760? Looks more like an XL760 or Venture 760 looking at the midshaft length. We have seen quite a few midshafts bent like that especially in rental abused XL 700/760 skis. 760 would have had the 5 finger couplers stock.
