Any one have a clue if this would be a pad failure? ... Or what could of caused this?

I thought I spotted a UFO the other day. I'm glad it didn't damage your truck. I have had pads fly off before but never to POOF and fly on top of my house.

It was the craziest thing I have EVER seen while detailing. It was definitly not because it wasn't on good enough. It was actually hard to get the velcro part of the pad off of the backing plate. Like I said ... I noticed it starting to swell (WAY WAY WAY more than the normal "swelling" you see while buffing) ... and I like ... WTF? ... Then POOF!!! and parts when flying!!! ... One chunk OVER the house and into the back yard. The rest is still ON (ALL the way up top at the peak) the roof.

Im just SOOOO glad that I caught it fast enough and the backing plate didn't dig into my paint.

Im guessing that it was some sort of pad failure, malfucntion, or just one that wasn't quite made right. I was really looking forward to using those small pads on small areas too!! ... Kinda scared now ...

Brian ... Thanks dude ... They look better filled with smoke

Im not sure is this was a possible ... or something else.

I vote for something else: Attack of 3.5" Shooting Pads from Outer Space!
