Help Blake to walk again in 2010!
A fellow racer and car enthusiast needs your help. Nitrous Outlet is stepping forward to help Blake over come this tragic accident and gain the ability to walk again in 2010. We can not do this with out your help. As I share this tragic story with you I ask you to read careful as there is an important lesson that Blake and Nitrous Outlet wants you to hear.
On July, 24th 2009 Blake was working in his shop when he picked up a 10lb nitrous bottle to move it out of the walking path and it un expectantly exploded moments after it was sat under a work bench. The explosion caused serious injuries to Blake causing him to loose his leg and sub stain many injuries. |

Any high pressure tank needs to be recertified after so much time. The same goes for any gas cylinders, high pressure paintball air tanks like what Mark mentioned, scuba air tanks, etc.

Yep, that was one of the first things I learned about paintball equipment. I don't think LP tanks for your grill are that high of pressure to matter much, but things like nitrous and HPA paintball tanks that are running upwards of 10,000psi, that's some serious shit.
