I hope you're not letting your three year old play with a blowgun hooked up
to an air compressor. They can be very dangerous, in a number of ways.

But fun, if it's under _very_ close supervision.

I turn my regulator down to about 15 psi and turn my 3-year-old loose
with a blow gun all the time while I'm working in the shop. Make sure
it's one with the little safety holes on the side.
Dangerous? Were you never a kid or what? All the cool stuff is 'too
dangerous' now.

I don't know what 15psi feels like, but you get precisely two eyes and no
more.

At work, carelessness can mean anything from a cut finger to getting crushed
under 2,500 tons. These opportunities expose themselves every couple of
seconds for the entire shift.

Yeah, I've heard that story too. Compressed air seems innocuous because it's
"just air". But it can be dangerous in a number of ways that might not be so
obvious.

Actually, the average pressure required to burst human lungs is a 3
psi differential. I know. It seems low. But that's what it is. And
minor damage can occur at less than 1 pound differential on ear drums.
Don't know what the low limit for lungs is. Wonder how much pressure
it takes to burst an eye? Betcha 15 psi coming out of an air gun has
enough speed to push random dust pretty deep into an eye though.

Don't you guys remember when WE were kids and there were no safeguards
on anything? Breeding a helpless set of kids is NOT in our best
interests, especially when it's they who will take care of us in our

Yeah, one friend of mine healed up fine, but his fingers didn't grow
back after the saw cut 'em off. And another friend survived his
broken neck but is still a quadriplegic. Oh, and there's the one who
blew his fingers off with a cherry bomb. And speaking of fingers, my
neighbor stuck his finger on the chain of his bicycle and lost it at
the first joint. Then there's the kid who lost an eye when his brother
shot him with an arrow. Seems like giving a three year old an air gun
at even 15 psi is pretty stupid. Especially when his dad is gone and
he gets a hold of the air hose at 90 psi.

Anyone who has had scuba training knows that the pressue differential of a
few feet can kill you. If you wear a scuba tank into a pool, go three to
five feet down, take a breath, hold your breath, and come up, you will
rupture your lungs.

And

I have about 30% hearing loss in both ears. Too much industrial noise.
When I was in commercial diver training, we made chamber runs. We
pressurized to 200' in forty seconds. No wonder I am hard of hearing.
