Usually it will partially empty itself against your will as nature's way to prevent it from exploding. But if you have a full bladder in a car accident or play contact sports with a full bladder - and a surprising number of people do - and you are struck in the pelvic area, it can burst upward through the dome into your pelvic cavity, causing a life threatening medical emergency.
