Could… but not likely. Could overheat and freeze up from a lack of lubrication (low to no oil). Leaking gasoline and a spark could cause a fire and the gas tank could explode.

Any motor can blow up if it is abused.

YES !!! It is usually due to user error. If so you can order another engine from any company that sells B & S engines. Check around there are many prices and you could get burned. Also check with a local small engine repair shop and make a deal for installation if you buy the engine from him. Good Luck. Merry Christmas.
