Bonus points if you find the closet where you’ve put your bottles to ferment all sticky with shards of glass stuck in the door.

I heard somebody say that you’re not a real homebrewer until you mop the ceiling. So, congratulations!

Damn. That has always been a fear of mine and sometimes I wonder whether I should be wearing a full suit of armor when transporting bottles from carbonation fermentation to the fridge for consumption. Never happened yet, but never know. Recently got into kegging to reduce this risk.

To be fair, it only happened to me once in the 7 years I’ve been brewing, and may have been due to a combination of factors: lack of experience, extreme carbonation, probably an infected bottle, maybe a weakened bottle. Even the other, intact bottles from that batch were massive gushers. It was also the first time I added fruit to a brew, so fruit particles contributed to the whole fiasco. The taste was fantastic tho.
I’d say, if you check that your fermentation is truly done before bottling, your priming is sensible and your bottles are squeaky clean and thoroughly disinfected, there shouldn’t be any risks.

I just started brewing two months ago, so I am glad the brew gods decided to accept me so early!
