I've had one explode. It happens.
Re: light bulbs
I could see that happening if a crack developed in the glass, allowing oxygen in. Quite entertaining to watch a filament go when exposed to air - as opposed to the inert gas that should surround it.
And we're on 230v, the real deal.

I suspect they actually implode, rather than explode.
