Add vacuum pumps to the list of r290 hazards

Just had a vacuum pump blow up in front of me. I’m guessing it was from r290 bubbles in the oil. Not sure how bad it is because I refuse to look down but there’s a lot of blood and the wife won’t tell me and is in panic mode rushing me to the ER. Stay safe folks

Did anybody ever find out if he was okay?

The world may never know...
If Bob lived through the episode, I hope he took all the appliance junk to the scrap yard.
