pretty much what he said except the crash bit, I work in the chemical industry and all the instrument lines on our compressors (the size of a bus!) have several loops in them (to act like a coil spring) to counter vibration movement, before they were looped they used to snap and 300 psi of highly flammable hydrocarbons pissing out is no fun lol
