The oxygen cylinder assemblies each include a slow openeing shutoff valve, a pressure gauge, and a safety outlet device which bursts before pressure reaches a value that could damage the cylinder, tubing or components. The safety outlet device outlets are manifolded to a line which runs to an overboard discharging port in the airplane skin.



I find it difficult to reconcile the above facts with the bottle burst theory.
