    My bottles have pressure relief valves that I presume would prevent this from happening.

    Of course, I've never had them vent, so what do I know?

    Properly maintained bottles with pressure relief valves will prevent this from happening.

    Edit: in most cases.

    I don't know but that's a bit tuff to believe but I guess it could happen under the right circumstances. You know that those tanks are actually bullet proof.
