Don't do it.
So it seems that this has happened at least four(?) times in the last two years. If FIRST was serious about safety these would be outlawed.

STRONGLY disagree that the only avenue of improving the potential safety issues around plastic pneumatics tanks is outlawing them. I would much rather see a numbers-driven problem solving method applied.
However, I can see vendors stepping away from supplying a 'safety' item like a sleeve since it becomes a question of liability if someone gets injured.
