    My main yard just recently accidentally sheared a full helium bottle. Just missed seriously injuring or killing someone. The other half of the bottle landed 300 feet away in a residential neighborhood. Yard was told the bottle was empty.

    Wow, you are right it could have killed someone, or seriously injured a person, the oxygen bottles that I picked are completely empty, I have already took off the regulators and you can see straight down into the bottles itself, but you can be nun to careful when dealing with stuff like that, with me I am overly cautious, because I don't want to be in the hospital or even worst dead.
