Compressed gas cylinders can present a variety of hazards due to their contents, pressure, and cylinder weight. Hazards of gases include potential for fire and explosion, increased rates of combustion, exothermic chemical reactions, toxicity, corrosiveness, and risk of asphyxiation. If a gas cylinder tips over, in addition to the danger of crushing injuries caused by the heavy weight of a large falling cylinder, the cylinder can also become a dangerous projectile if its valve is sheared off. In this situation, the highly pressurized gas escaping through a small hole may cause the cylinder to move at an extremely high speed.
