Also in reply to the above video link you will notice the live and neutral have been extended from the lipo, which has probably been shorted out or set on a massively high charge current to produce the combustion of the cells... In reality when a cell is punctured the most it does is release smoke... As seen here;



If you slip that much with a stanly while cutting your heatshrink of While making you saddle bags... Well then you shouldn't be attempting the mod

Just do it in a ventilated area... Although the smoke fumes from a lipo aren't as bad for you as that from a nicad...it still don't smell great.

More misconceptions about lipos hopefully put to rest.
