I got grease injected into my hand trying to grease a kingpin on a Jeep pickup. The owner was a regular customer and the left side was always difficult to get to take grease. I was using an air operated greaser with a compounding gun that multiplied the pressure when the handle was released and squeezed again. The tip wanted to pop off the fitting so I held it with my hand and the hose blew shooting grease in near the base of my thumb. They didn't seem to know what to do at the emergency room and were going to send me home. I had read an article about a man who lost his left arm after injecting undercoating into a finger while trying to clear a tip. I told the emergency room staff and they found a doctor who was familiar with injection cases. He showed up and told me that immediate surgery was required. I was in the hospital for 3 days with IV antibiotics. I have about a 3 inch long scar in the palm of my left hand, but I still have the hand.
I used to service the refrigeration controls at the Beautiful "Canadian Grown" Pink Lady controlled atmosphere apple storage facility in the Beautiful Canadian state of Washington.
How large opening did your valve have? It might generate quite much pressure loss already over that. I think best/worst case would be damage some hoses slightly and then pressurize them until they burst.
There are some folk in this ole world who were reared without benefit of a patriarchal presence. I'll let the snickering abate while I say thanks for showing things that are probably general knowledge to most. Without a journeyman in one's formative years, many things are not passed along. You are so truly intelligent and confident in yourself that you offer a lot of wisdom lesser beings take for granted or don't know to begin with. I'm sure to be bollocking this up but Thank You for this consideration.
Hey Ave, you should put a UV/near-UV blocking filter in front of the camera. That way you'll only pick up fluorescein fluorescence, giving you much more contrast.
Arggggghhh... Bad memories! I almost lost a finger last year from a High pressure injection injury I got from an airless paint sprayer with the tip reversed so it sprayed out in a fine jet. Spent a week in the hospital and a had my hand sliced open and the bones scraped of paint. Still hurts, can't feel my fingertip and can't close my hand. Be careful people, if it wasn't latex I'd be done.
Had a friend walk by a hydraulic line with a pin hole. Never knew what happened and has a spot in his arm a bit bigger than a golf ball that had to be debrided.

An entire episode dedicated to realising the schmooo, sir, you spoil us .
"you are the softest meat in the shop"
Wife peaked over during the last slowmo schmoo shot, triggered her PTSD.

Even more fun when it's an invisible gas. Wave a broom handle around until it's severed in two. Found yer leak.
missed opportunity for "keep your schmoo shooter in a vice" methinks

“It was a bit more volume than I was expecting”. That’s what she said.
Pro tip:
I routinely work on hydraulic systems, diesel engines, and other high pressure fluid systems. This is my number one nightmare.

As an m+e engineer 2 things scare me hydraulics and the stroboscopic effect of rotational machinery.
Not two weeks ago, I said I would never buy that battery operated grease gun. Today standing in the blazing sun around
