it popped out somehow without breaking the loop the pin goes thru on the upper arm itself. its a mystery to me.

that is common. There is a seem from the mold right there so the arms split. Mostly happens on the lower arms especially when you hit something head on.

Only three ways that arm will pop off
1. PFM (dont believe in it)
2. pin comes out (doesnt look like that in the pic)
3. It splits at the seam and comes off. I bet if you take a screw driver into the hole and use very slight prying action, he will see the split at the seam.

ya it is very wierd to think of how it happened. doesnt make any sense. funny thing is i kept on bashing till the packs died before i noticed. it may have been when i let my old man drive and he smacked it into a lamp post. LMAO.

Just looking at it will look like nothing is wrong with it. Usually when you hit something head on like a lamp post, tree or fence is when it happens. Don't ask me how I know this cause it has never happened to me...lmao j/k
