Walked out into my shop one day one of my workers was sitting on top a 18 wheeler airspring and fix'n to hit the intake with a air nozzel.

We had a 200 gal, 200 psi, 440 volt compressor, 2" plumbing for air routing and a 1/2 in fast fill air hose.

Stopped him and got my pocket calculator out.

Standing next to him we calculate the surface area of the top of the airspring, guessed 1/2 flow of the air discharge of the air gun, the lbs of force that would be exerted to the top of the airspring and his weight...

He would have shot almost 25 ft into the air.

He declined to continue his misadventure quest.

You should have skipped the calculator and pulled out your smartphone.
That would have gone viral in a minute. How dare you stop this young millennial from have some fun. All of us boomers need to learn and stand aside and let these youngsters take over. I mean, what could go wrong?
You get they sarcasm right?
