Good points, all. I'm not too concerned. Just wanted to throw it out there and see what the pundits think. The weak spot in the covering is certainly a likely cause. I was probably descending a little fast as well.

BTW, some of you might be thinking "he's just looking for a technical excuse to cover up pilot error." I'll be the first to admit pilot error. I've made my share (although none with such drastic results). This one wasn't one of them, allthough I have started a little second guessing . . . "maybe if I had just chopped the throttle as soon as it happened", etc. It all happened too quick for my slow reaction.
