Default cos front driveshaft

Did a hard launch at ford fair and lost drive. Turns out that the front nearside driveshaft has sheared off where is fits into the intermediate shaft,leaving the cv joints otherwise ok. I've never heard of this happening before. I'm left with a 2in stub of driveshaft held into the intermediate shaft by a snap ring about 2in below the radial seal. This is going to be a pig to get out i realise, but what i'm wondering is what i can do to stop this happening again? (apart from learning a little clutch control!)
