A hydraulic safety hose apparatus is disclosed, which includes a pressurized fluid source for producing hydraulic fluid pressure in the apparatus, a hydraulic safety hose, and a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic safety hose is composed of inner and outer hoses with an annular passage between them to receive pressurized fluid in the event of rupture of the primary inner hose. A series of bleed holes in the outer hose allows the escaping fluid to harmlessly dissipate under low pressure without endangering the operator and other persons in the vicinity of the hydraulic system.
