A friend of mine was unfortunate to suffer this, well maintained back tyre, 20 years of experience, got lucky and controlled it.
Thankfully blowouts on bikes are rare, but poor maintenance is usually the cause, bikers tend to look their tyres, they know it will hurt, but it can happen. if its the back then you may have a slim chance of controlling it, but the front unlikely. Its very much the case of look after your tyres and they will look after you.
