Safety is key

WARNING:HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 23,200 PSI (1600 BAR). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. FUEL UNDER THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. INSPECT FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN SERVICING FUEL SYSTEM.

this is a warning label from aldata

Pressure/velocity related injury to the index finger
estimated at between 100-1,000 lbs/sq.in.
  i looked up some more on the lethal strike video and on the web and saw this pressure warning but i think its being nice you could several injury at even lower psi

  1. I believe that is the point of the Lethal Strike. We need to be aware of all possibilities of injection at all pressures.
