Which risk increases dramatically when solid rocket propellant auto-ignites?

💡 Explanation

Auto-ignition initiates uncontrolled chain branching reactions increasing the reaction rate exponentially, because energy release causes further radical production and accelerating combustion. Therefore, a runaway explosion is highly probable, rather than controlled combustion or merely altered heat transfer effects.
