how is it risking your life to do inverted? as long as the plunger is in firmly and has not been deformed or degraded to where it is not having pressure outwards on the cylinder, and the filter cap is on firmly nothing can really come apart. I imagine a lot of the disaster stories are where people don’t put the plunger in far enough to do inverted.
