If you test it out, the first thing you will do from now on is break that little pigtail of glass inside the ring of wire connectors on the point of the rear of the screen & listen as the air gets sucked in.
If someone fell onto the point of the rear of the screen & the glass broke, it'd suck most of their blood or insides into the screen.
I place it face down on the ground, on something soft, not stones etc, then I break the case just around where the tail is & then either start tapping the bit of circuitboard or pull the board off & tap the glass bit, till I hear it crack & start sucking in air.
It sounds like when you purse you lips & suck a lungfull of air in. When its stopped I can now carry on.
I'm facing the other way, with eyes closed.
Don't pick up a screen by its tail or the metal band around it. Sometimes they slip out of the band.
First thing you should do anyway is release the vacuum.
I couldn't find any videos on the net that really show the screen exploding, most are bullet holes etc.
All I did was tap where the band in, its on its join, its weakest point.
I had 3 screens lying face down on the lawn in a corner, when I came back from holiday there were only 2 & a big ring of broken glass, I couldn't figure out what happened until my first & last experience of breaking a whole screen.
I guess its like mentioned above, the sun got to it, heated it up in different places & BANG!
