Hi All
This safety cap thing, our bottles come with a plastic rip seal and nothing
else to protect from impact, this safety cap sounds like a good idea.

|   I would recommend putting the safety cap on that bottle too. Many
|   years ago a large oxygen bottle fell over at Sacred Heart Hospital in
|   Norristown PA. The valve snapped off from the impact the bottle
|   traveled several hundred yards and imbedded itself in an earth
|   imbankment... it also went completely through a two foot thick brick
|   wall before hitting the berm. Thankfully, there were no injuries or
|   fires resulting from the incident.
