Not my compressor, but 30 years ago I was airing up an old tire/tube that came on a 21" rim. Checked at 10 psi, 20 psi looked ok so I figured I would see if it would hold 35. I was about 32, when it blew. My neighbor and fathe came running from different directions. Shook the garage door and blew out a window. My hearing was messed up for about a day and the garage was filled with a black dust. I was dumbfounded it was such an explosion.
