The term has its origins in the second world war when sausages were often of such low quality they partially exploded when cooking.

English, Scottish and Welsh sausages are sometimes called bangers because of their tendency to explode during cooking if poorly made.

They have been called "Bangers" alot longer than that by a couple of hundred years. When you fry them the casings (skins) tend to "Explode" in the pan thus "Bangers"
