High-Speed CDROMs - The Hidden Dangers

I've never actually had a cdrom disk explode on me before, but they do make some pretty lights if you "nuke" them for a few seconds. (Perform at your own risk)
"So can your CDROM cause your CD to explode? You bet! But first, we have to understand how this is possible. CD Drives are getting faster by the day so the possibility of this actually happening to you is quite high. For example, a 52x CDROM can have a spindle rotational speed in excess of 10,500RPM's. "
