The present invention relates to a safety device for stabilizing cylindrically shaped objects and thereby reducing the occurrences of uncontrolled releases of their contents. With respect to an exemplary embodiment, a stabilization mechanism is presented which comprising a cylindrically shaped barrel, having a first opened end and a second opened end and which is fitted with a plurality of stabilization outriggers. Each of the plurality of outriggers extends from the exterior surface of the barrel, radially outward away from the barrel. The interior diameter of the barrel is sufficient to accept a pressurized cylinder or tank. The outriggers effectively increase the diameter of the base of the cylinder, and so doing, provides an added measurement of stabilization with respect to toppling over from an inadvertent action. In the other exemplary embodiments, as few as three outriggers provide stabilization for the cylinder. In accordance with another exemplary embodiment, a ring is fixed to the outriggers and in still another exemplary embodiment, the circular plate is attached to the lowermost extent of the barrel, the plate also having an opening sufficient for passage of the pressurized cylinder. Wheels may be attached to the outriggers in order that the tank may be moved by using the stabilization mechanism as a cart or dolly.
