I can only guess that the probe is not being retained by the 4 "bite" marks in the face of the bottle fitting.

Versions 1 through 3 had removable probes (no retention feature). I had complaints of dropped fittings so I developed the retention feature in V4 (4 bite marks).

The large gap between the bottle fitting and the probe is intentional. It prevents binding if there is slight misalignment between the probe and bottle fitting. An oring is not included in the design of V4 as it is not intended to entirely seal to the tank. The probe is supposed to seal to the oring in the tank.

How is the probe flinging out in a dangerous manner? Isn't your mag pushed up aganst the probe tip? I can see how it can pop out and fall, but I can't see how it can become a projectile with the mag valve placed against the tip.
