I wouldn't call compressed air extremely dangerous, but more than you'd think.

It can hurt you in a lot of ways and it's often played with like a toy. Like blowing air in somebody's face, don't do that, think of it like coming at them with a handheld drill. Treat an air compressor like any kind of power tool, not exactly dangerous but can hurt you.

I respect air compressors after watching No country for old men

Iโ€™m always scared they will explode in my hand when the cans get ice cold, dunno if that is a legitimate fear of mine though.
