Wow, sorry that happened! That's kinda creepy, though.
I had a close call a few years back... I had my turtles outside in a pond and I had just got them set up. Well I was just moments away from putting my hand in there to make some adjustments to their basking spot when the pump blew and started shooting up bubbles of smoke. Scared the heck out of me and gave me some serious heebeejeebees for awhile, but luckily it didn't shock my turtles. I think it had some device to make it shut off immediately or something when it blew like that. It was one of those Little Giant black pumps. I've had issues with more than just one of those, and I don't use those pumps anymore, I just don't trust them. I don't know what kind of a motor they used, but now I use those Mag Drive pumps that have a magnet prop to pump the water and I've never had any problems with them.
