Point well taken, but reading further, there seems to
be a serious product liability issue here with a
popoff safety valve that failed to open. Someone's
gonna pay big for this is my guess.
I'm not saying we should allow N20. But, implying all
N20 installs are dangerous based on freak accidents
like this is much like saying all retread tires are
dangerous 'cause I saw one blow once. (uh oh, here we
go with THAT again... :)
