Bombardier employees are fine...the explosion was at a BRP plant in Valcourt.

For clarity Bombardier and BRP are separate companies. Bombardier spun out the motorsports division (ski-soo, sea-doo, etc) years ago and it's now called BRP. I'm pretty sure that they are unaffiliated and ownership is completely separate. If I'm wrong (which I doubt) then I apologize.

In 2003, Bombardier Inc. sold its Recreational Products Division to a group of investors: Bain Capital (50%), Bombardier Family (35%) and Caisse de Dépôt & Placements du Québec (15%).

Injected 2 strokes?  Yep.  Utility ATVs?  Yep....
