Bottle Blows Up

[spangley_special]

hope its nothing too serious, nige best wishes and have a quick and more importantly a full recovery


but **** somthing needs to be sorted, i know that nige is very sensible and responable about HPA, so i highly doubt he has done something stupid to cause this, so i cant help but instantly turn to stako .
this is a risk we take every time we go to the fill station. we need to be able to have confidence in our kit.

Stako should do a full investigation into every one of these incidents

too many times has this **** happened

 

[slam]

yep the explosion was substantial, just about everyone ducked or looked for cover.

Hats off to Kitch for running to the compressor to turn it off.

well i say ban them nige could of lost his hand or his LIFE . or someone next to him on the fill rig

get well soon nige hope to see you soon buddy

Just had my teammate (2hott4u) ring me, Nige is down in A&E, as far as I know he's got a few burns, some wrecked kit and he's a bit shook up but I got the impression he is in good shape considering.

 

[Markie C]

Thoughts are with you nige.

 

[Dusty]

only in the door and this is very sad news. agree with him or not Nige is an absolute gentleman, and I would like to wish him a speedy recovery from myself, Michelle and little Sophie.

Also a large amount of money from Stako for compensation.

I don't see how stako can ignore this now and claim that there is not a manufacturing fault.

Sad that it takes things like this to happen for them to wake up.

just heard its a 2hott4u player just hope he is ok

Its nige !

edit ~ Beaten to it, but even so !!!!

But the bottle was fine, a slight burn on it, it was the fill nipple, someone had put oil on a previous bottle, once nige put his in the thing, filled up to around 5k, somehow, and then it blew, the fill nipple came CLEAN off, Plus the threads of the reg where in the gun, No idea where the body of the reg went! The bottle cover was burnt, the gun was burnt, and you could smell oil on the bottle, it wasnt his fault, it would've been the people before.
Scary thing is, I nearly went up with him! >.<!

Firstly hope you get well soon Nige.


Sounds like if the bottle has hit the ground and came off the reg then an explosion has happened in the bottle. That has then caused the threads on the regulator to melt causing the bottle to fly off with flames pouring out of it.


Now just before we all start jumping on the "we hate stako" band wagon we first have to find out what type of regulator it was. Also worth while noting that this has happened in the past with non stako bottles.

Not stako's fault then. The bottle took the explosion force.

EDIT: I dont use a stako, I just think people are being far to quick to jump on the BAN STAKO's bandwagon.
