Actually, it wouldn't take much at all. Those K cylinders tare at 135 lbs. 245 lbs (filled) X 44 fps deceleration from 30 mph. 9000+ ft-lbs torque, releasing enough flammable oxygen to burn down a city block, I'd imagine.
When I was a fireman, we had instructions to inspect your load papers before pulling your carcass from the fire. We had to know what you were carrying and how hazardous it was.
Looks like you get to see a lot of different scenery in your job. Nice photos.
