Most modern cars, trying to jump them backwards will just blow the main fuse and not damage anything else. Not that this is a good thing!

Gel and AGM batteries will outgas if mistreated -- normally they are sealed but there's normally a controlled weak spot in the enclosure which will blow out under overcharge.
