From my experience with lipo:

Over discharge (low voltage) usually causes puffing. But the lipo has lost most of its juice so it does not really have the potential that a full pack has.

Over charging causes the battery to be too full, and it has alot of potential energy so you can draw your own conclusions!

Now running a battery past its capabilities while it is close to full may have similar effects to over charging. So trying to pull 100 amps out of a 50amp rated pack may cause a dynamoc reaction.

A good carger and properly picking your packs will put you in very good standing considering safety. Gee did not cross his Ts and dot his Is and it bit him in the ass... Good example!
