A video related to Exclusion Zones - Safely Working With Pressure.
This video demonstrates the benefit a Whip Check has on a failed fitting.
Working around pressurised fittings and hoses can be dangerous, and there is a real risk of personnel injury from a hose or fitting dissipating its energy in an uncontrolled manner.
When a hose or fitting fails under pressure there is a risk of being struck by the hose, the coupling, being sprayed by the hose contents and damaging your hearing from the sudden noise released.
Most hose failures occur on the hose itself not on the coupling, so you want to ensure a device like a whip check of whip sock is correctly fitted the on the hose not the crimped fitting.
