I read a review that said the user had the front window blow out on him. I don't know if that really happened because it seems so unlikely. A properly designed pressure vessel should be able to handle 3 times the expected working pressure. You probably would need to increase the cooking times because the pressure differential would be same but the temperature would be lower - at least that's my guess.
