There's a huge difference between a front tire blowout and a rear tire blowout. Front blowouts are dangerous, causing your car to steer violently in the direction of the flat tire. Rear ones just cause your car to feel a little squirrely.

I've experienced flats/blowouts on all corners, in both cars and motorcycles. I'll bet money that those of you who say "tain't nothin'," all had rear flats.
