Why does nobody talk about the mess when a brick saw hose bursts on a hot day?

I was cutting pavers for a patio in Dallas last July when the old hose on my Stihl saw split, spraying water and slurry everywhere. I had to shut down for an hour, clean the whole area, and run to the supply house for a new hose. What's your go-to move when a tool fails in the middle of a job?

Honestly @angela_baker, that's why I keep a cheap shower curtain in my truck now. Throw it down before you cut and it catches the whole mess.

My go-to move is usually just swearing a lot, then realizing that doesn't fix anything.

My buddy's tile saw hose blew last summer, coating his entire garage in gray muck.
