The word "explode" is a gross overstatement. Glocks have what is described as a "partially supported chamber," which means that part of the shell casing is exposed to air when fired and not supported by the barrel's metal sleeve. This is not unique to Glocks, many guns are made this way.
In rare cases, a weak or over-powered cartridge may burst in this unsupported area, causing the detonation of the gunpowder to escape into the magazine, which is full of ammunition. In even rarer cases, some of that ammunition may go off in the magazine, but in every case I know of the worst injury are mild burns on the hand and some scratches.
The gun is history, though. I emphasize again, this is extremely rare and is almost impossible with name-brand factory ammunition. It's almost always a result of cheap high-powered 9mm or 40 caliber ammunition or a "double load" where a handloader accidentally doubles the powder charge in a cartridge.
HERE IS A DIFFERENT TAKE
My brother was shooting yesterday when his .45 Cal Glock had the bottom blow out in his hand and it was a bit more than a scratch or bruise as he had facial cuts (thank goodness he was wearing eye protection and this is why!!!). When he went back to the store where it was purchased, in a town of 40,000, they had another Glock in the back with the same problem. We have been shooting for over 40 years each, done our own reloading and surely had "hot" rounds by mistake, but over the years we have never had a Smith, Ruger, Browning, Sig or Colt have this problem. The vast majority of people who shoot on a regular basis (several times a month) use reloads or do their own reloading and any well made firearm should handle a hot round here or there. Glocks don't! It is also a flat out lie that "many guns are made this way" as stated above regarding the "partially supported chamber". Yes, some are but the vast majority are not or at least to the extent the Glock is. Bottom line, it's a poor design and I will never own a Glock again. Why take the chance when there are better guns out there?
What else can I help you with?
What is better Glock 40 cal or a wather ppk 380?
Better in which regards? Both are high quality pistols, which fill a specific niche. If you wanted something for concealment purposes, the Walther would be a good choice, although Glock does make subcompact pistols in .40. However, the PPK would be a bit easier to control than the Glock 27, which is going to have considerably more recoil and muzzle flash. The Glock has no exposed hammer, which helps avoid snags on clothing as it's being drawn. Ultimately, it comes down to what you're comfortable with, and which one suits your specific needs better.

Do all guns have safeties If not which do and which don't?
There are revolvers which have no safety mechanism, although more modern designs tend to have a transfer bar mechanism, which prevents the hammer from making contact with the round unless the trigger is actually pulled. This allows for a revolver to be safely carried with all cylinders loaded, whereas earlier designs which lacked this feature would have a decocked hammer making contact with the round in the chamber lined up with the barrel. Many pistols won't have a traditional safety mechanism of the sort which will actually prevent the trigger from being pulled. Some pistols, such as the Sig-Sauer pistols, some models of CZ pistols, etc. have a decocking mechanism, which allows the hammer to be lowered without the risk of it slipping and striking the round in the chamber. Others, such as the Glock, have a trigger block which must be depressed before the trigger can be pulled. On the Glock, this is part of the trigger itself, whereas the Heckler & Koch P7 has it on the front part of the grip.

Beretta M9 or Beretta 92FS?
The FS is the most advanced model of the Beretta 92. I wouldn't recommend the early M9 pistols (which were basically Beretta 92F pistols) over the 92FS, but the later production M9 pistols are 92FS pistols. The main difference being the the actual M9 pistol production is supervised directly by the DoD.
