They cooked one of those aluminum kegs off on Mythbusters a while back when they were doing thy myths about throwing stuff on campfires and having the steam pressure explode them. It was pretty violent. A nasty looking piece of metal came off. Not good!

I think a keg can hold 125 though because beer gets close to that pressure. I must be rated a lot higher for human safety.
