    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.
