Toilet Trouble
I had a situation some years ago with the fill tube inside the tank splitting below the float. Theoretically (although probably not at full line-pressure) the overflow outlet would have handled it ... but the split was spraying up toward the tank lid so the pressure was flooding water out under the lid.
Another luck situation. I had walked past the bathroom moments before the split occurred, on my way out to work. Heard water running so backtracked and found the problem happening. It could have been much worse.
