Pressure cookers are quite common in Spain, and most fear from exploding pressure cookers comes from the 70s and 80s, when they had less security features, valves could get stuck, and people were careless ( i.e: opening the lid before pressure venting, forced cooling under the water tap...) I've checked on Google News for accidents in Spain, and haven't found anything more recent than 2012. Using modern pressure cookers is quite safe. Just check your valve works, that your ring seal is in proper condition, and close the lid properly. AND NEVER TRY TO OPEN IT IF PRESSURE HASN'T VENTED
