Nitrous mishap
Well it all started out when I removed the "used" bottle from the car, I started to unscrew the burst valve line and noticed the fitting was unscrewing from the valve, so I was glad that I caught it.
When it was fully removed from the car, I proceeded to tighten up the burst valve fitting on a nearby cart.
I only gave it a 1/4 turn before the bottle started spinning off the cart & out of control. the bottle was spinning like a top on the ground, while I tried to step on it and try to contain it. I finally got it under control but the nitrous spray blew my pant leg up and sprayed my left meg w/ liquid nitrous, leading to this (hopefully) little burn on my leg.
see you bishes tomarrow.
