Well, reforming of new caps simply puts them against the working voltage and the rate of current drop is watched, and the old ones are put via large value resistance so if the cap shorts the current is in single mAmps.
Caps blow up. I saw ceramic caps go up in flames and burn holes in fiberglass.

All can happen.
