I've actually done that before on my friends BMW 318 when we were replacing his AC compressor after the system quit blowing cold air. We thought it had leaked all the refrigerant out and there wouldn't be any pressure left in the lines. We were wrong. As soon as we took off the bolt on the compressor line all hell broke loose and we had to high tail it out of the shop and have an adrenaline induced laugh while everything aired out. It scared both of us half to death when it fogged up the entire garage in a matter of seconds.
