It seems to indicate it is care in manual handling of cylinders that needs to improve. This is a 'take pressure vessels more seriously' incident, two men killed in a cylinder rupture rather than an O2 explosion. This is a risk that all scuba divers are exposed to, plus anyone using HP gas bottles at home or work. It's not limited to those using O2, unless the article misses the parts where the specific gas is the risk.take O2 MORE seriously people !!!
Yes that was about 4 years ago and the assumption was he dropped it. And you can actually initiate an O2 fire with an impactWasn't there a young man in Florida killed a number of years ago as he carried his oxygen cylinder from the house to his vehicle? If I recall correctly, no one saw what actually happened so it wasn't known if dropped it or just what occurred.

No this is the same explosion I was thinking of, with the 2 friends in the Saint Pete apartment.
