Allen, I understand where you are coming from but as someone who has had a 1 liter PVC pneumatic volume explode within 1 foot of me (thank goodness it blew out away from me) I will respectfully disagree here.

The dangers to anyone near one of these if it explodes, especially to bystanders, some of which may be children, is too high for my liking. Thus I say 'ensure it is safe and then we can use it'.
