One time, my ShengShou 4x4 exploded during study hall at school.

You're just lucky it was a 3x3! I've exploded a 6x6 in my math class before haha.

I'm just glad it wasn't a terror threat.

I read "public" as "pubic" at first which would have been an entirely different thread.

Woah, I didn't even notice that. Maybe terrorists could use cubes to trigger bombs. When the cube is solve the detonation begins.

So did I, but I have had my MoYu Huachuang pop on the bus and I almost lost 3 pieces to a horribly expensive cube.

Worst for me was when my Megaminx popped and then fell from my hands onto my desk at work. I had a full audience (12 or so coworkers) that were dying to see me solve it.

I had let them all do as many moves as they wanted before I took it to solve. The scramble took close to an hour. I was maybe two dozen moves into the solve when it popped. I reached out with my right hand to catch a corner that had popped. It slipped from my left hand almost simultaneously, hit my desk then bounced to the floor. It was pretty much completely disassembled after that. They all immediately freaked out and start apologizing for making me solve it.

I immediately grabbed a 3x3 from my desk, I keep about 5 puzzles at work. I started to explain how centers, edges, and corners of the puzzle worked, along with how similar the 3x3 is to the Megaminx. After they all had seemed to grab the basic concept, we all gathered the Megaminx pieces, I reassembled the puzzle, scrambled, and solved it. At the end, I only had one edge facing the wrong way. They all, luckily, had a decent idea of why I had to take that piece out to solve the puzzle.

My Aolong v2 exploded when boarding a train and 2 of the pieces slid down the crack in between the train and the platform.
