Pretend you don't have the knowledge of an emplosion. Have someone hold your beer and flip that spring like yer out doing the drum brakes on yer car and just let it fly.....

When I was a kid we had a '56 24" RCA tv sittin in the basement with a bad picture tube. I really wanted to take the tv apart, and I wanted to see what was in the picture tube.

Me and Dad with no one else around took a rope tied it around the neck of the tube, stood around the corner near the water heater and repeatidly yanked that thick nylon rope and dragged that tv all around the room and never broke the tube.

Many years earlier my dad replaced the picture tube on my grandmothers 21" Magnavox B&W and fell down the stairs with the face of the tube landing between his legs with the face down as he kept the neck up as he and the tube fell down a flight of wooden stairs in their NYC appartment building. Again the tube did not break.

No One held his beer, he did not drink those weekends, but we see a lot of "hold my beer" videos on YouTube and they also live through their stunts. I think yer ok whatever you do. Just keep the nail clippes away from it.
