As of July 24, there were 222 reports of the hoses bursting, resulting in 29 injuries, including "one bone bruise, two sprains, and five reports of temporarily impaired hearing from the sound of the hose bursting." According to HydroTech's website, the inner liner of the hose can "expand and burst if the strain relief breaks or becomes fully unthreaded."
