Air can be plenty scary. If you doubt me, try accidentally actuating the relief pressure safety valve (pop-off) on your fully pressurized pancake air compressor when you pick it up to carry it to a new spot.
I
did just that while working on my ceiling project. I was fairly certain I had
only seconds to live when the air first blasted from the valve. And let me assure
you, not a little air escapes from the valve. It's a lot. I think I might have
squealed, too, but the explosion of air drowned that out.
Fortunately, the blast of air lasted for only a few seconds before the valve snapped shut again, leaving me standing there stock still and panting.
