Blood vessels can be ruptured by extensive pressure to certain points of the body. Whether it be internal or external, certain force applied to your body builds an accumulated amount of blood calls to form together thus creating the vessel which carries the blood cells to rupture to relieve pressure. Think volcano or filling a water balloon until it has reached its capacity. External pressure caused by blunt force, ex: a hard hit to the body causes a blood vessel to rupture as you would expect a hole to occur in wall from a hard hit. Blood vessels are delicate and depending on person to person any force pressure etc applied will indeed burst, tear or rupture.
