Carry a spare. Make sure everything is lined up properly, pulleys tight and run true.

Mine was really bad about that too untill I figured out to keep the belt a little tighter than than I was used to. Not extremely tight, just a little tighter. A good way to keep the little rubber pieces out of the intake is to put a whipplecharger on it! That moves the intake to the other end of the engine! :D Oh, and it makes much more power too.

You got it right the belt was just a little loose
So at the point the belt circle around and were close to it self
Started slapping together and caused the rubber particles to fly
