I have had two break on me. One was my fault although the the pressure I
put on it was not great, the other happened when I went over a bump in
the highway. I must have had the hose at such an angle that it put
pressure on the plastic valve. Anyway, I would not like to repeat the
experience and I now always carry a spare. It is truly one to be careful
of.
