There I am in my kitchen mixing brown sauce into a cottage pie when there was a loud smash, like a glass being dropped on the floor, and then glass hitting the back of my neck, the bulb in the spot light assortment thing exploded and all the glass and bulb sharpnel was flung towards me.

Pretty scary, i've never seen a bulb actually explode, and it wasn't as if i only turned it on, it was on for around 5 minutes already. I have a great night, then i nearly lose control of my car and a bulb decides to attack me, damn karma.

Has this happened to anyone else?
 
The glass showered the side of my face, and grazed/slightly cut my chest. It went EVERYWHERE, and I would think if I was looking straight at it (no idea why i'd stare at a bulb) it could have been bad.
