    Maybe I'll just drop it from a suitable height. Violence solves everything right?

    Just don't drop it on the valve because it will then transform into a torpedo and that will be a little too much violence.

    Off topic but this reminded me of a situation when I was a child. Visiting my uncle for the holidays i witnessed something that i'll remember forever. His neighbour was busy in his garage with a huge acetylene cylinder when it fell over, gauges broke off and the cylinder flew out the door, picked up speed, broke through my uncles boundary wall and nose dived into the pool cracking the pool on the opposite side where it came to a stop. No more swimming as the pool had to be emptied and repaired.

    Well mine just got delivered and Bizzy Fire were kind enough to pre-bash the bottom flat so it can (and does) stand on its own. I love customer service like this.

    Not when it's full. Pressured cylinders are dangerous. People have been killed with large ones.

    Listen don't get all technical. I'd have to drop it from a helluva height so I'd be quite safe. Besides, I'd film it and post a YT vid for your edification. That's worth the price of (e-room) admission.
