Now there's a puzzle. I still have a tough time believing that the cause was trapped gas or what-have-you between the pad and the shell or increased pressure from trapped air. In the absence of physical evidence of a cause I guess I remain uncommitted. Thanks very much for sharing the circumstances. Episodes like this are the best way we have to learn.
