Why the fuck would you stand there? That stream gets deflected wrong and you're toast

Humans often don't grasp how easily physics can say "get fucked"

Humans are notoriously terrible at risk assessment

Going to work? No. But gotta do it because fun? Yes

Depends what they're trying to achieve. Fr example, it looks like a great way to clean all the dirt off your bucket.

and maybe flip the bucket
Maybe it had gotten stuck...

What TF does that line go to. Regular lines are at like 120 psi to a house, then the house has a valve that drops it to like 70 to 80 psi...

WTF you mean "house valve"? Street pressure in most major cities without buildings over 5 stories is 45 - 55 psi.
anegativecreep
Transmission lines frequently operate at much higher pressures, and then get regulated down to distribution pressure. I’ve worked on one in west LA that came down a long hill and was around 300psi where it hit a reg station at the bottom.

Force = pressure * area
So, for a 2 foot hole at 120psi would be over 50k pounds
