Fermentation went bonkers in fridge ... blew off my tube and bung..... should I dump it thinking it may be contaminated?
It has been in the fridge since this morning..... and very active.....
I'm gonna drink myself to sleep if it's contaminated. ...

Don't dump! Never dump it unless you know that something awful is in there growing. Spray the bung with starsan and seal it up.
That same thing has happened to most of us at sometime, and i would bet that 95% of those batches turned out fine. Ride it out and see how it turns out...

No infection, your beer was protected by the volcano. It's cool

But I'd get that cleaned up before the flies show up...

Do not dump! Like above, re-sanitize and you'll be fine.

Ok, but have you cleaned up the mess yet?!?

In all seriousness it's most likely fine. If it's a yeast you've used before at this temp and you're seeing 10x the activity, infection is a legitimate possibility. But unless it's reeking in a non-beer-like way just ride it out!
