I think the likelyhood of sustaining an injury from a ruptured hose is probably less than being injured in an automobile accident on any given day. I have had neither misfortune.

Your hose man is giving you a "hose job". I would find another. I have the luxury of being in an area where I am sure there must be fifty hose presses within a ten mile radius. Heck, I almost bought the hydraulic inventory and tools from a manufacturing plant that was liquidated at an auction. Your cost to buy 10 hoses probably would have been a winning bid. I didn't buy because I usually have 100-150 hoses and most times I will find one that fits with the right fitting. If that is not possible, I will cut it to lenght and have my hose man attach a new fitting. I doubt if I have more than a dollar invested in each unused hose in my inventory.

A neighbor just built a log splitter for less than $100. He splurged on a new log splitter valve for $75. Everything else came from a junk yard and that includes hoses from a forklift and a 5" cylinder from a dump truck. I guess he is friendly with the salvage yard operator.
