if you could bolt the thing to a piece of sheet alloy to work as a heat sink it would help, but where could you put it?

Mine blew due to my fault. Like T-Cut says, some may blow from time to time, just like some tyres have punctures now and again. Like it has been said, the odds of one blowing is small. It's the possible damage to the wiring or even the whole car that is more of an issue. I would rather pop a 40 amp fuse now and again than watch my car go up in flames. At least the fuse is in a very easy place to get at, you don't need to remove the glovebox lol.
