You know, I hear that all the time.  I was about 10 feet from a pvc air line when it blew once.  made a big pop, and that was it.  no shrapnel to speak of.  my co-worker was about three feet from it, nothing on him.

now, yeah, I wouldn't plan to do it, and my lines will all be cast iron when I do the new garage, and yeah, I'll be spending the extra to eliminate any chance of issues...but I'm like that.  It's probably more likely he'd be struck by lightning--twice--than be hurt by the air hose.
