At a completely random guess - you opened it up full throttle without the impeller being immersed in water? Not terribly surprising it exploded. I once saw a huge marine diesel engine destroy itself after a propeller sheared off. There's no load and they just race out of control.
Also a possibility that the timing belt snapped, assuming your engine has one. If it's single cylinder, probably not.

I took all the precautions... this wasn't my first time doing running a jetski. We found what was wrong anyway; the piston wasnt getting any oil into the chamber, so there was very little lubrication.

Damn, I hate it when there's little lubrication.

I know, it always slides rough.
