I've had the tube explode once, spraying brake fluid everywhere. The problem isn't the hose itself, but the worm drive metal clamps that secure the hose to at both ends. The sharp edge of the clamp cuts into the hose over time, and that's where the rupture occurs when its pressurized. I only use it dry now.

This is such a simple problem to fix that I'm amazed that the manufacturer doesn't use a better securing method or a reinforced hose. With this many reports of the problem, surely they know about it.
