Holy crap, he came out of it much better than I would have imagined. I'm guessing he didn't have a cylinder valve guard on it like he was supposed to if it got "bumped" on ...

There are example pictures at the local welding supply shop like this. Some are unbelievable.
I am not useless, I can still be used as a bad example!

Thanks for posting this, Bill. I think I'll print it out and take it to my local welding supplier to post.

It had to be one of those Binford tanks designed to accelerate the speed of the power windows to open. Hey watch this: I can open my window faster than anyone !!!
He is very lucky it didn't blow the second he opened the door and the dome lights came on, all good connections there. But those power window switches spark everytime they make a connection.
This is why I don't have a power trunk lock on my car. With my tank in the trunk area I have the potential for fumes to build up in that area by a fitting or line failure and just a loose fill cap when closed and make it so the trunk release could trigger an explosion. Not likely but it could. So make sure your remote trunk release mechanisms can't spark or get fumes inside of them to trigger an explosion. I know I am not the only one around here with a fuel cell in the trunk.

i don't think the transporting was the issue here. Few mistakes, allegedly not having a boobie cap, not checking the valve, no safety plug, leaving the cylinder in the car for a long period of time and operating anything while knowing that the Green Dragon was occupying the interior of your car.

And that's why I have to drive with the window open. Not the same, but similar principle...
