True story that happened when I was a kid: My dad's "go-to" tractor was a John Deere G. We had several of them growing up. (Wish we could have kept them, but you know how it goes....) Dad didn't like rain caps on a G and I guess I agree with him, there's just not a steady stream of exhaust coming out. So his method was a vegetable/fruit can over the exhaust. Now on those early John Deere tractors, the distributor stuck out the side and it was easy to get the distributor cap wet after a rain shower. So one time it was wet and wouldn't start so my brother and my dad pulled the G to get it started. Well, the tractor popped and took off, except somebody forgot to take the can off the exhaust. Now there are going to be some doubters here and there's NO WAY you could ever get this to happen again, but the can flew off the exhaust, came down the side of the tractor, bounced off the frame and got caught between the fan and the radiator. When the engine was running, of course. Yes, it took out the radiator. That fruit can was a pretty expensive exhaust cover.
