back on topic: Cells can be dangerous if abused, and lets face it everyone racing electric cars are abusing the cells by charging them at least 8 times the manufactures rated current. but we have all seen a LiPo explosion on youtube, they seem alot more likely and much, much more violent, a cell exploded at TRCC a week or so ago, the guy was sitting right next to it and it caused no injury that i know of, and i was there.
I spoke to the guy whose cells went bang shortly after it happened, he told me that it was two sets of cells that had touched each other & shorted causing the cells to go off, wasnt due to over-charging so accidents can happen with any cells if you are unfortunate.
