Thanks for the update. I wasn't aware that electric PC's were around that long ago.

My chum was ok
The restaurant cooker explosion occurred in about 1978.. He survived quite well and came back to school.
(They were cooking ground beef I believe when the pot popped).

So they are basically foolproof!
Be careful saying this. Never underestimate the idiocy of a true idiot.

Pressure cookers are VERY SAFE!
Specially now that we live in a world where everything ends in a millionaire sue.
Some decades ago, pressure cookers had nothing more than the safety screw (usually red, a screw that pops and relieves the pressure before the PC explode.
Thanks to the lawyers, nowadays the PCs have so many redundant safety devices that even intentionally it's virtually impossible to explode a PC.
Note that "explode" a PC is one thing, trigger the safety devices is other much different.The second situation makes a mess, but won't harm even if one is stand next to the PC. The first situation causes a huge destruction.
Answering: I love my pressure cookers, I almost always use them. And with proper atention, they aren't danger at all!
Something I'd love to have is one of those american style pressure canners. I'd love to make my own canned foods.

Electric vs electronic. While both are electric the newer electronic ones like mine are just say it again "Set it and forget it" . No timing to be done, just listen for the beep and the pot goes into "keep warm".

Smoker
There is one out now that supposedly doubles as a pressure smoker as well. Not sure how it works, but that might be cool!

A (sort of)
When I worked in a hotel kitchen 1 of our banqueet cooks was blanching vegetables in the pressure steamer when BOOM! the door latch failed on the top compartment and the door blew off. Out came a huge cloud of steam and the cook jumped over the table and hit the deck. I was in the dishroom (Hobart FT-820 equiped for those who like DWs) and heard the noise so went running and found the aftermath.
