Exploding Beer Tank Sends Brewer Flying Backwards

Video ID: CPM0447
This is the hilarious moment a brewer was sent flying across the floor after a beer tank valve exploded sending gallons of beer into his chest.
One of the workers at Back Channel Brewing Co in Minnesota, USA, was working on a tank on January 23 when he checked a valve.
Funny footage - which has been viewed more than 1.8million times - shows the brewer suddenly get knocked to the ground as a powerful jet of beer hits him straight in the chest.

Ooofffff....
If that hole was an inch and a half smaller, that stream could've shot right through his chest.
I've seen a mechanic have the top of his finger ripped off by a broken pressurized air hose from a tire mounting machine.
Pressurized anything is extremely dangerous...

I have to disagree. That looks like a fermentation vessel which are rated to 15 psi max. Not enough pressure to cause a puncture wound even with a smaller hole.

@@jonhill4070 You believe that's 15psi coming out of that hole and knocking that Man on his ass?
Psi increases dramatically with diameter.

[@williamMikmaq222]

I could triple the psi just by moving that hole to the bottom of the tank!
