I actually flew a BUNCH of new-old-stock D13-0's and D13-5's from the late 70's through the mid 90's and never had one go 'Kaboom', but may others did in the early days. Possibly aging in a consistent environment made mine ok.
I never had any catos with the notorious 24mm E15's from Estes in the 90's during their first foray into motors larger than D's either.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
