The problem is that when an air system component breaks, there is a huge amount of pressurized air that propels the fragments in a dangerous manner.

Hydraulic systems are not nearly as dangerous, because the pressure drops to zero almost instantly (since liquids are not compressible). Not so with air.

So please be careful.
