Ensure all air, fluid, or gas lines are completely drained of internal pressure before handling the hose assemblies.
Proper installation is critical; an improperly mounted whipcheck offers little to no safety protection during a blowout. whipcheck

Whipchecks serve as a crucial second line of defense in occupational safety. They physically restrain the flailing hose to safeguard workers and secure the workspace. Anatomy and Mechanics of a Whipcheck They physically restrain the flailing hose to safeguard
Inspect the braided steel wire rope for fraying or kinking. Discard the cable immediately if any individual strands are snapped.
The storage of energy in pressurized systems is a fundamental aspect of modern industry. However, this energy creates inherent risks. According to physics principles, when a pressurized hose separates from its fitting, the pressurized fluid escapes rapidly. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force of the escaping fluid creates an equal and opposite reaction, propelling the hose in an erratic, high-velocity motion. This phenomenon is known as "hose whip."
