A colleague recently showed me the coil of a broken superconducting magnet after it quenched. There was an easily visible rip in the structure, even though the whole thing was enclosed. It must have at least had enough kinetic energy to tear the metal apart.

I've had a relatively small (about 2" x 2" x 1") ceramic magnet explode on me. The shrapnel was embedded deep into the adjacent wall.
