I've got one better... I used to work in a bike shop. When building new bikes, it's common to overinflate the tires (to get the bead seated nicely all around) and then let the excess out. I did that one day with a flat repair, and blew the side of the rim off, it had been worn so thin by the brakes. (This was many years ago, before disc brakes were common)
Also, we had a deaf girl working with us. If someone exploded a tire (it didn't happen often, but it was more than never) it would startle her too, she didn't hear anything, but she said she could feel it.
