The chance of a person's appendix bursting, or rupturing, is relatively low. However, if a person has appendicitis, which is an inflammation of the appendix, the risk of the appendix bursting increases. Appendicitis is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. If left untreated, the appendix can burst within 36 to 72 hours of the onset of symptoms. The risk of rupture is higher in people who have had appendicitis for a longer period of time before seeking medical attention.
There are several factors that can increase the risk of appendicitis and the likelihood of the appendix bursting. These include having a family history of appendicitis, being male (males are more likely to develop appendicitis than females), being between the ages of 10 and 30 (appendicitis is most common in this age group), and having certain medical conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
It's important to seek medical attention if you think you may have appendicitis. Early treatment can help prevent the appendix from bursting and can reduce the risk of complications.

How do you know if its your appendix or just a tummy ache?
If you have a bad appendix, then the pain will usually be in the very lower right side of the abdomen, although the pain may be near the belly button or even in the lower back. A burst appendix can be a serious matter, so you should see a doctor if the pain persists. If you have a fever as well as the pain, you need to head to the emergency room as your appendix may have burst causing an infection. Usually when you have a tummy bug or tummy ache the pain stays in the middle, but with appendicitis, the pain becomes extremely painful and moves towards the side of your tummy. Very painful tummy aches should immediately be checked out by a physician or better, at the hospital because there may be a chance your appendix is bursting. When it bursts a sort of fluid flows out and it can cause infection. In more severe cases it causes death. Just like Houdini who died of his appendix bursting.

Do you need your appendix?
The most obvious answer is no; millions of people have had their appendix removed without ill effects. Darwin suggested that the appendix is a leftover from when our ancestors used to digest leaves. Recently, it's been suggested that the appendix is used to keep bacteria that keep the colon in good order, however it doesn't seem to cause a problem to have it removed. Given that it's seems largely useless and a burst appendix used to be a fatal disorder, one might ask why it's survived at all. One theory is that a smaller appendix is more prone to bursting so it's reached a sort of happy medium value.
