While we think of big heavy welding cylinders as being indestructable, they are not. Valves can be broken or cross threaded or other damage occur. One infrequent issue is arc burns on a cylinder. The slightest arc burn, either directly OR from a sputter-ball can result in a cylinder needing to be taken out of service. You can find yourself responsible for the cylinder cost is you return one arc burned. So be careful where you work or store cylinders. NEVER do so in a situation where you could accidentally touch a cylinder with a welding electrode.
