From RAWalker: High Pressure hoses nearly never fail without first showing signs of problems. That doesn’t rule out failure due to manufacturing problems as we saw a few years back on high flex style hoses. Under normal circumstances a hose will show signs of wear at the connectors or delamination which results in small bubbles.
Not always. I & my tech instructor both had a Scuabpro HP hose that was later found to be defective. It ruptured & blew apart very suddenly right where the internal fitting that attached to the first stage, ended, right behind our heads. His hose ruptured about 6 months before mine.
