My old Suzuki TS250 grenaded a piston, but most of it was still on top of the crank. Many tiny bits of schrapnel were under the crank.

The difference here is that your four stroke motor has a lot more room for piston fragments throughout the transmission. There wasn't much area for bits to hide in my two stroke.
