I'm not a pump operator, but I have been reading your DE hose posts. So I was interested in what exactly happens when a hose whips and I found this video.

While working in Fl. I went to a job,house slab.Hose man refused to work because two years earlyer his brother was killed by an operator from the same company with a hose that had a metal end.After watching me for about 30 minutes he came over and said that i was doing a wonderful job,he then took over the hose and we finished the job.Made me feel real good.I always cut the end off of my hose with a chop saw on the job if i don't have one without,doesn't matter what my boss says.If you want to fire me so be it but i will not hurt some-one,no money is worth it,not to me.
