Often eard that hose puncture or rupture is a fantasm, I ( and now you ) know its not
I know first-hand that it is not...
A long time ago, I was transporting my MK-15 on the back of my truck to a dive center in southern France.
The road was narrow and twisty as most coastal roads around Cote D'Azur. So the unit slit across the truck bed and crashed into one of the side walls.
It just happened that the impact point on the hose was where the brass hose connector (on the inside) and steel side wall. The end of the brass connector cut a 1/2" slit on the THICK MK-15 hose (which I always thought was impossible to damage).
So it is all about pressure point...
same as what happened to you when you hit the ceiling.
BTW, I fixed it with a dab of GOOP so not a big deal.
