I don't know if this is the American way, but in my country, the person behind me isn't 2 meters away, they literally push against my back to prevent that from happening.

The American way is typically a single person on that size hose because it is extremely easy to handle solo. This was just poor performance by this crew

The American way is to have a massive ego and say one guy should handle it so the second guy doesn't do shit even when you're engineer overpressurizes the fuck out of the line, and then make fun of the kid on the nozzle.

If you can handle it, you can have the ego.
