It can be dangerous, true enough, best not to do it anywhere near habitation.
Wooded areas are good, plenty of cover. Actually there's no real shrapnel... for
the regular two-piece can, the base usually blows off and one of the two pieces
will go flying. For one-piece cans like lynx, the entire can usually stays in
the fire. Usually :-\ Best to set them upright so the valve doesn't melt, which
can relieve the pressure non-explosively, so in a crevice between logs or
something. This also directs any flying debris upwards, making it (a little!)
safer. Can take up to 30 seconds to blow, even on a hot fire, plenty of time to
retreat.
