Could the pipes burst if there is a groan when the toilet is flushed?
Yes they can. In general, however, the "groan" is not as bad as the "hammer." When water is suddenly forced through pipes containing a sharp bend, the water can hit the side of the pipe as if it's a wall. The force of the water can burst the pipes. Most modern plumbing fixtures account for this "hammering." But there are lots of old pipes out there too!
