The aluminum sleeve doesn't need to be broken for an explosion to occur. Lithium is quite unstable when heated. Also, if a Lipo battery catches on fire, the lithium creates a very harmful gas. Inhaling this gas will cauterize the internals of the lungs, preventing them from getting oxygen to your blood. Very nasty.
