I got this straight from the TDI manual on gas blending: "Piping should be free of sharp curvers, and the greater the radius the better. Any extremely sharp curve or restriction can act as an obstruction should the O2 pressure be accidentally applied too quickly." I agree, he is applying this concept in the wrong context (meant for o2 delivery sytems), but isn't overcautious better than careless?
