The GCS can easily be disconnected under pressure. .

Its fun when you do and the GSC valve sticks open! Lost most of a tank once that way

For this reason I always turn off the tank valve before disconnecting then slowly turn it on again to check. When it happened to me I had to swap 1st stages underwater to use the tank

Good to know that can happen. Thanks for the info. Did you try to reconnect the GCS?
