No-ones trying to scare anyone off, but there are too many who watch a video on U Tube and think they know it all. Whilst most of us with experience know where the hazards may lie and work around them, the old saying 'A little knowledge is dangerous' comes into play and folks wanting to save a few £ go headlong into something without thinking. Until it all goes horribly wrong.
It does sound dramatic and scaremongering. But some of the most miserable times I've had are when a dig has gone wrong. I think what folk are saying is be cautious especially with gear surrounded in concrete. Its easy to get carried away with a pecker and gas and water have surprisingly little resistance from a determined attacker. This gas pipe was only just below the surface and was partially embedded in the post concrete.
