Back in RAF days we used Liquid Oxygen instead of gaseous - even including the military VC10s. The vapour coming out of the vent during Lox charging was just the job for fast chilling a Coca Cola can out East (or even in UK during the summer) Much ado about nothing I think. Oxygen charging is as safe as refuelling as long as you do it by the book.
