 That could have been VERY bad. Glad you guys are ok. That thing was an aluminum gernade.

I am really curious why this happened. Did you contact the manufacture?

I have a friend who was the victim of an oxygen tank tipover. He'll never work as a fireman again. There are so many ways to get hurt or die in this world it's astounding.
