Spring loaded Pneumatic piston

One last thing, if a mechanical part fails on you, sometimes you can get a little bit of noise back into it by yelling at it, kicking it, or pounding on it with your fist. This might put enough back into it so it will work for a few more minutes. - KenWittlief [more]

Al,

Could you elaborate on what safety issues you foresee with spring loaded cylinders of the type I posted? If anything, I could see them being safer than traditional double acting cylinders. (In extension, the total force is reduced by the amount of spring force; in contraction, only the spring is providing force).
