How risky would you say it is to run this cracked impeller on a mighty jet desktop? Just debating if I can order online or should go to the lfs.

Unfortunately innovation marine no longer makes this impeller and apparently the pump is just toasted now.

It will eventually split more until it comes apart and shatter if you keep running it. If you have another pump on hand i would use that for now...if not I guess you could keep running it until it breaks, or your replacement pump comes. I dont expect it to cause any catastrophic damage to anything, worse it would do is jam the rotor and heating up the pump, thus the water
 
Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the feedback. Going to see if I can get ahold of a replacement pump at my lfs.
