now, compressed gas?
I'm not sure about that .....
during dive rescue training they'll show you pictures of ruptured scuba tanks .....
it's a scary sight ....
now they want to use compressed gas to run a car ....

tanks probably had flaws in them...
they shot a propane tank full of holes with slugs from a shotgun, a few rounds from a 30.06 and more things... 9mm could not pierce the tank..

sometimes augmented with a bit of oxygen, and we call it nitrox ....
anything with helium (trimix) is mostly beyond the realm of recreational divers .....
but a ruptured tank is still a scary sight .... imagine one rupturing in close proximity to you .... >.<
