most rear 60s are full float, and no the axle won't automatically come out if it breaks. doesn't mean you can move though; if the axle binds when it breaks it'd be wise to stop and pull the shaft, or it could twist inside the housing causing further harm if that makes sense. i made a plug/drive slug from the first broken shaft so i can plug the hole. carrying an extra shaft too of course. The slug makes for a conversation piece as some dont' know what its for
FF should at least some measure of strength over semi float but exactly how much i suppose is debatable.

I was under the impression, that the c-clip was non float, c-clip eliminated etc is semi, and full float has an actual spindle, and the axle slides in/out through the hub rather than being flanged with the wheel lugs
but a google search (just now) yields that people call non-floating axles "semi-floating" axles as the same thing

I would consider all axles (including C-clip type) where the vehicle weight is supported by the axle shaft, and the wheel bolts to the flange on the shaft "semi-float" axles. All axles where the spindle and hub/bearings supports the vehicles weight, and the shaft simply transmits torque would be "full-float" axles.

Also if you break a shaft it is wise to fish out all the broken pieces, or at least the big ones, The two guys who broke stock rear 60 shafts that I saw were really good at using a magnet to get all splines out and didn't have to pop the diff cover. Of course after seeing that 3 times in 3 days, I decided that I wouldn't run a stock rear 60.
