This assumes two things. That one blowing up a hose is a problem, which though startling I don't believe it's a safety issue. Second that if you use the compressor as it's properly supposed to be used a <10% duty cycle then I highly doubt you will have that problem. We only have that problem during long practice sessions never during a match.
