it was in your car?hmm...i think i know y.it exploded wen it got to hot i hade an axe can do that cuz it swell with pressure and it cant take any more kinda like wen u get a flat tire.it has to much pressure and it pops

Answer 2

I have many times. One of the neatest ones was when I was at 29 Palms in the Mojave. There was an artillery unit playing cards waiting to go to the range. Someone had left their lighter in the sun. It exploded. The soldiers all look at the direction of the 'pop' for about three seconds and then continued playing cards without a word. It was funny to watch because you would think that they were all thinking the same thing. As long as it wasn't a shell or propellant, there's nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

I have seen them explode in someones face just from lighting it the correct way , there is a web page that shows the percentages of this and people that it has happened to but i don't remember

Answer 4

Yeah, its pretty funny (teenage years lol)

If its in direct sunlight or on something hot then yeah its going to explode.

When i was a teen me n my m8s use to get a buzz or throwing lighters top side down directly on the floor and they make a pop bang sound and blow up lol...

They can over heat, or if you throw the little plastic disposable ones on the ground hard, they'll blow up too...
