Why is a bottle with a cap on riskier than a bottle without a cap on?
Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to, so could you please clarify? Are you saying that there are venues that ask people to open their bottle caps and keep the bottle and the cap separately?
I'm gonna guess at the answer
Because the call still being on gives the shape strength. Instead of harmlessly crushing into the ground, it holds the shape long enough that it will hold YOUR entire weight on one foot in a way you can't balance on before you fall.
By the time the liquid or air is able to get out of the bottle, because the cap is on, the damage will have been done.
In the middle of people frolicking dancing jumping pumping thumping moshing surfing the bottle with a call on might as well become a looney tunes or Mario kart ananas peel
Thanks!
Try stepping on a bottle with a cap on, and then one without. You'll see why it's a tripping hazard, especially in a crowd.
Usually, a cap gets confiscated by security upon entry.
I see, thanks!
I was confused because the events I've been to have straight up thrown away bottles at the security check. I haven't encountered the throw-away-the-cap thing and was wondering if something else was going on.
No cap fr
