Not me personally, but a friend has.
This is a known problem because companies are trying to a) increase speed of reading CDs and b) bring down the cost of producing them, thus using cheaper (and sometimes thinner) materials.
The problem is that the two goals are, to some point, mutually incompatible with the risk that a flawed or weakened CD can simply shatter under the stresses involved.
Of course that doesn't make it any better if it happens to you...!
