Did a chilled water pump upgrade today. Increased discharge check valve from 4” to 5” for increased flow.

Halfway through my oxy regulator failed causing my oxy hose to whip off and strike me.

Oh well, some would say I needed a good whipping. :)

Who says welding isn’t a contact sport?

My lips were a little swollen so they may have taken a swipe or near miss. It happened too fast to see what was going on. Had to work out what happened. Initially I thought the hose failed and took out the reg but after close inspection I realised it was the other way round.
