I don't think I want to be around when that guy hooks his regulator up and
opens his valve.

On a recent trip to the Caribbean I had my DIN-reg with me, and
needed to borrow a yoke adapter to fit it on their tanks. I was quite
lucky the adapter was rated to 290bar because one of the tanks (alu) was
at 270bar. It was the only time when I have actually seen anything
metal "stretch" visibly.

Yes and no. My product liability guy made me put all kinds of silly
warning signs all over the compressors before I shipped them out. One
is on the yoke saying "Rated for 3000 PSI. Higher pressure may result
in injury or death". Plus there are about a dozen warning pages
scattered about the user manual.

What is amazing is that these are sold in Europe every day with only one
warning sign ... "add oil before starting".

Warning signs and placards won't protect you from negligence. Knowingly
selling a product that isn't safe for it's intended use is negligence.
I'm surprised your "product liability guy" (your attorney, I assume)
would even let you consider something like this.
