Transporting O2 safely

Did you se the Mythbusters episode where they decapitated a cylinder and
it whooshed through the concrete block wall?

Yep; and that confirms what I had heard, before.

At one time, I had a co-worker that was known for telling tall tales. He
had a doozie about the valve being broken off an Oxygen bottle, that I
didn't quite buy in its entirety. I don't recall exactly what it was now,
but I didn't have a problem with the basics of the tale.

Time to get a refill on my "J" size O2 cylinder.
I usually build a cradle out of 4x4 so it can't roll and something at
the ends to keep it from sliding. This goes in the back of the
Explorer.
Anyone have a better scheme for moving a full cylinder? Mike

The cylinder, if it is designed to have one, should be fitted
with a cap. If not, it should have some other protection over
the valve. I generally just cram in the seat of my extended
cab which will not let it roll.

For larger cylilnders, you can get foam blocks at any dive
shop that are designed to hold scuba cyls.
