Wow, scary, at the same time, as mentioned above, the right PPE and lifting these things from the bottom and not having so much stress in the neck is probably good enough for mitigation.
My carboys were manufactures in Italy and they are pretty thick. These ones that are described as a "spontaneous combustion" type design are probably super thin.
Mine are all thick Italians too. Hopefully they hold together because I love using them. Anytime I move them I plan ahead. I lock all of my animals out of the area I'm using and make sure no one is home.
