Why does nobody mention the jar explosion risk from skipped burping?

I've seen three ferment jars burst this month because folks aren't burping them daily.

Sealed too tight, sounds like my first attempt at pickles.

What if daily burping isn't the only way to stop explosions? Using an airlock can handle the gas build up safely. It sounds like those jars might have been sealed too tight from the start.

Watched my friend avoid a mess by using an airlock, @gavin_kim, after her first jar burst.

Yeah, airlocks are the real fix.
