This is a massive understatement. My lab's safety showers will fill up a five gallon bucket in ten seconds.
Mine are activated will a pull handle, which opens a valve in the ceiling. The first time my assistant and I did a safety check, I held the bucket while she pulled the handle. A few seconds later, I realized I'd made a critical error by not explaining how to close the valve before having her open it.

Seems about right…. Suffice to say I was fairly drenched !

That's why we check them monthly- to ensure that the stuff that comes out is water, and not, say, a liquid form of black mold fungus.

Absolutely. Completely right. And usually I won’t be standing under them!
