I've read about ground strap arcing causing implosion, Zenith safety cap arcing (HV button to yoke) causing implosion, and I've heard of the islands arcing to each other. I don't know of any cases of island arcing causing implosion, but it is possible....Arcing generated intense local heat, uneven heat of glass causes fracturing, fracturing of glass under vacuum causes implosion.
I rather not risk it.
