Yes it can blow up but you will be standing there and will know something is wrong before it does. Before running it up to pressure, check all the valves. If spring loaded does the spring operate? Next check all the seals, any rubber should be smooth and not cracked or brittle looking. Check the pot over, any cracks or pitting inside or on the lid? After a few mins of boiling water has the pressure gauge moved?

Pressure cookers that are newer all have safety features installed. Even if it’s as simple as a rubber plug. This is the style mine has.

The things on the side in the last picture may be a safety device.

They will be ok for a few days or more. Good idea on new canner, old ones dont have near the safety measures the newer ones do.
