do you get any warning or do they just decide to snap themselve in half?

from what i take they just self destruct
of course i imagine they could just wear over time and kinda slowly get worse
but worst case scenarios are detonation
and boom, your walkin home.

No, there is usually no warning.
...at least not enough that you can react to.
