I have had bows dry fire (yea its happened to me), I have had bows break strings on release. Cables break. Never had a press incident, but probably will one day.

All bows survived, but some had issues. Mostly cams bent, and axles bent. All were fixable one way or the other. I always have trouble trusting a bow after an incident however. I usually trade or sell.

It takes quite a bit to make a bow explode. But if a person keeps shooting a splintered limb, it can happen.
