just got back from there,

Nige has his hand bandaged and was waiting for an ambulance to take him to hospital just as we left the site, obviously he was very shaken up but not sure how his hand was.

I've just spoken to someone who was there and saw the incident and Nigel has been taken to hospital with some burns to his hand and arm after a Stako bottle exploded at the fill rig. There was a substantial explosion and the bottle was buried into the ground.

Best wishes to Nigel and I hope things aren't too serious and he makes a fast recovery:(

And Nick is right- over all the years we've been using HPA that's normal bottles exploding - 0 and in a year Stako - 3. Enough is enough:mad:
