There are better engineered shock mounts with body reinforcements available.
I've come to appreciate the BMW mounts. Most of the aftermarket replacements are prone to rattling. I generally use the Meyle HD units.

The reason why that shock mount failed in that manner is that the lower washer either rusted away or wasn't present. Most likely rusted away, as the mount will usually fail on the first bump if you leave it off.
