** PineappleSurprise is another subversion - it appears to be this, but it is in reality TakingYouWithMe.
** Despite being a meth chemist, Bob ''does not'' or only rarely uses his own product, has a chemistry education in some capacity, and knows how to control a reaction that could lead to an explosion/has access to methods and chemicals that are less reactive. His lab, therefore, never explodes.
** Ted smokes a cigarette at the garage/gas station and throws it, half-finished, into a bucket of gasoline. The gasoline, however, was not freshly poured (it had been sitting there for a few days) and it is gasoline ''fumes'' that are the most explosive. The cigarette simply goes out.

Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A character manages to unintentionally blow only themselves up with explosives intended as a weapon against someone else, or ''unintentionally'' causes a fatal explosion while handling explosives or explosive chemicals.
* '''Straight''':
** Alice pulls the pin on a grenade before throwing it, underestimating the time from pin pull to explosion.
** Bob is operating a meth lab, and only knowing how to cook meth from BreakingBad and his addicted friends, creates an unstable chemical reaction that leads to a massive explosion.
** Ted is filling his gas tank and decides to have a cigarette while doing so, not noticing the gas is about to top off as he strikes the light...
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Everyone in the military in question or the insurgent movement in question is so stupid at handling explosives that the main amount of casualties come not from enemy fire or from counterterror operations but from people blowing themselves up.
** Every other week in the DeepSouth or HollywoodCalifornia town, a meth lab explodes. People are so used to the sound of exploding meth labs they are surprised when a week goes by without a huge boom and sirens.
* '''Downplayed''': While the act of handling the explosives or the behavior around the explosives was incredibly stupid, the explosives somehow didn't explode.
* '''Justified''':
** TruthInTelevision: there are a lot of unstable and explosive chemicals in RealLife and a lot of ways to make them go boom without your wanting them to do so.
** TruthInTelevision: Many of the people who want to use bombs and other explosives as weapons are (sometimes thankfully) ''not'' smart enough to successfully build/deliver them without blowing themselves up.
** To show someone as being incredibly reckless or stupid.
