Just wondered if any of you fine peeps had or could recommend any short video clips of gases cylinders showing the effects of the valve being knocked off. I want to use it as part of staff training and why they should store them securely. It's ok telling them but actually seeing it is something entirely different.

Fingers crossed.

A figure quoted to me many years ago was:

0 to 34 miles per hour in one tenth of a second.

Since our human reactions are slower than that, and the things weigh of order 60kg (I believe), the danger is obvious.
