Im still a rookie at two years in this but my suspicion was heat or dropping it. If he had it in the car then temps can get it up over 100 degrees easy, if he dropped it or abused it somehow was also a question. Its good to have discussion over LP fills. I am ready to buy me a pair of LP95 and this is good debate. I sure hate it for the guy. I love to dive and I do my best to not abuse my gear. Of course diving in limestone walled rivers and caves kinda always beats up your gear just dont compound it by abusing it above water, I can not see the tank exploding from tempeture after being inside. If it was i direct sunlight in an OVEN, or car cab, yes but I wquld think the fill temp was higher than the ambient temp at 650am. Either way it sucks. My Mom called me to review the article and she is already paranoid of my hobbies. I just took a ride in an ultralite trike... she had a fit... told me I needed to get checked! LOL Im sure the details anmd facts will emerge, too much restriction and safety involved it will be investigated and tested.
