Another thing to ponder might be the physical strength of the O2 bottle,
it
may not be safe at the reduced atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes.


They why carry it? O2 tanks are pressure tested every 5 years.. a standard
O2 tank should be able to go to 50,000ft.. but you'll need a pressure
regulator and fitted sealed mask for pressure breathing
