If you do lose one from overinflation, the damage can be severe. I've seen some tire training videos that are pretty impressive. The safety cages over some tire machines that are used when seating beads are beefy steel things, and there are plenty of videos out there documenting tire safety cage testing that give you an idea of the amount of force involved when a tire fails from overinflation.

Think a 400 lb tire machine vaulting into the air, and a steel containment device being blown to bits.
