Some videos showing valve failures/damage in controlled testing:

That explains why the tanks are so damned expensive. That factory must have cost a billion dollars to build! Awesome video!

Yikes! Respect indeed! That's why I like to buy the best quality I can. Thanks for posting.

Wanna bet a good bit of cost is because of liability insurance
