Spanish term

agresión mecánica

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial safety procedure
Hello. This is safety procedure for storing gas cylinders:

"Se debe evitar cualquier tipo de agresión mecánica que pueda dañar las botellas como pueden ser choques entre sí o contra superficies duras."

"mechanical aggression" does not sound right to me (it sounds more like a heavy metal band!).

Thanks for your help :)

mechanical aggression

Està muy bien la traducciòn Simon, aunque suene a banda de heavy metal! :)
Peer comment(s):

agree Bubo Coroman (X) : "aggression" no es demasiado fuerte -- es muy importante proteger las botellas de choques para evitar cualquier fuga de gas.

Thanks Deborah
disagree bigedsenior : These are safety instructions. They should be in easily understood terms, not in esoteric jargon suitable for an investigation or report.
