Acetylene can form explosive chloroacetylenes on contact with hypochlorites (Unfalle beim Chemischen Arbeiten, Rust, E., Ebert, A., Zurich, Rascher Verlag, 2nd edition, 1948, pp. 338).
Bromine and chlorine add across carbon-carbon double or triple bonds to generate halogenated hydrocarbons (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 160-164, 614). This reaction is very rapid and exothermic.
