When I was starting studies at a technical university, we had a safety instruction day. And we were told that when handling high pressure technical gas tanks on a carriage, they must never ever be moved without being chained into an upright position. Because these bottles can have a very high pressure, and if they fall and the valve breaks off, they not only act like rockets, but they also gain enough speed to fly straight through concrete walls.
They’re actually fairly safe to transport. There are trucks full of them in a lot of countries where that’s commonly used for cooking.
