I prey, not pray.
Implosions move inward, but projectiles from the other side can possibly hit you if they clear the middle. (I know first hand)

Nothing to be concerned about though, as it would no doubt me minimal, just funny :D

Sounds like a Hollywood conspiracy :)

Wrong! Implosions can create as many little flying objects as an explosion.
Ever see a TV picture tube implode. big chunks of glass with sharp edges embedded in the things around it when it imploded.

As a result, use of the new high-speed discs for recording on these particular Pioneer products may cause damage to both the loaded disc and to the drive/recorder. The following drives and recorders may be affected:

Using soon to be available 4X discs for DVD-R and 2X discs for DVD-RW with the following drives is thought to be risky: DVR-7000 DVD recorder; PRV-9000 Professional DVD recorder; DVR-A03 computer drive; DVR-103 computer drive; DVR-A04 computer drive; DVR-104 computer drive.

I would like to see it in a reliable source, like a PC magazine. If it's real, it should appear in many magazines in Spain
