Default Well pump pressure switch blowing

I'm still curious how that is...why wouldn't pump be hanging on the
discharge pipe w/ a snubber around the bottom pipe section against the
casing wall? I can't figure how the pump can drop lower than the length
of the discharge pipe which should be much less "stretchy" than the feed
cable.

Inquiring minds and all that...
