I have seen caps blow up before and never actually saw anyone get hurt. Its not like its gonna make a big firey explosion, hollywood style. There is just a loud bang and generally an acid spray or at least an acid leak. The acid stinks really bad and is about as dangerous as battery acid. Dont get it in your eyes cause that hurts like hell (had it happen) and just wash it off yourself ASAP and there are no problems.

Blow up sure, but unlikely unless you short it out.

nope, ,don't fuse it, ,thats covered under your hood, , and definately never fuse a ground wire.   Just be shure to follow instructions when charging it, ,they sometimes squeel, and burp if they have been sitting around for a while, , use the resistor provided to charge it, , other wise you will cause sparks of you just hook it up, ,  plus, always on anything, hook up the ground wire first.
