First run at WBP I case a super small jump at the end of Schlayer and hear a weird noise. Thought I buzzed my tire so I stopped to adjust my shock and was amazed at what I saw.

Was the first run and other than paying over $600 for a much inferior shock I was forced to ride on the spring alone. It worked and even handled Aline in an acceptable fashion. The jumps were fine but cornering was nuts. Back wheel skipping all over the place. In hindsight probably not a great idea in light of recent events at the park.

Yup exact same thing happened to me. The snap ring groove machined in there was too deep on some castings. You'll notice that's exactly where it let go and let your compression knobs etc to be scattered all over whistler. Fox will warranty it and send you a new one. Glad you didn't get hurt.
