Ditto. Very sad. And rare. I checked the literature, found less than a fire a year (in human use) but explosions (human) are rare. The horse must have kicked hell out of the inside of the chamber to cause such a catastrophic failure. I've always only seen them use certified hyperbaric techs who know their equipment and what they are doing, and take good care of the horses.
