    They forgot to put head pressure on the tank.

    That dude said an anti vacuum pressure relief valve is not a pressure relief valve. Well what is an anti vacuum if not pressure?

    Makes me feel less bad about my homebrewing mishap from about 2 months ago.

    Don't drink and brew! Not saying that's what happened here but it would be an easy mistake to make if one was "distracted".

    It doesn't take much pressure difference to crush a container. When I lived in Utah I could watch my empty water bottle slowly crumple when driving from the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon (9000ft) to my house in Salt Lake (4000ft) if it was closed. The reverse is also true. When I popped the valve for my first sip I was invariably squirted in the face. Never did learn...
