Like when a cylinder or hose bursts, it just lets a jet of oil out. BUT a pneumatic hose or cylinder can cause massive damage as the air is compressible unlike oil a lot of energy is stored in the hose and cylinder. Hydraulics don't store energy like that.The only movement you will have when it gives is the flex in the steel. It will just POP and fall off (unless it let go when you were belting the snott out of it with a sledge hammer).</blockquote>
