What a cleanup nightmare. 150 psi will move a lot of coolant fast and high. I think antifreeze is still dripping from my garage ceiling...

Sir, that is not good. Antifreeze does not really dry out well, either.
One of the mechanics here in the shop failed to close a valve on the oil drain bucket and created a sludge rocket that shot to the ceiling of our steel building fast enough to escape Earth's gravity. Instead of hitting the metal roof it hit 14" of fiberglass insulation and 3" of foam. Much less oil came back than what was launched.
Years later we can still smell oil when the roof gets hot in the summer.
