Oil Cooler hose exploded

The engine is not solid mounted to the chassis so as the engine moves under down shifts, and up shifts, it will pull on the hoses if they are too tight and rigidly mounted to the sub frame. That is probably one of the few ways i could see there being enough force to yank a hose end off of a JIC hose assembly like that. Assuming it was properly assembled of course.
