One for the welders. Exploded regulator!

I finally got myself sorted out today with a bottle of argon to use my tig welder. I had an old regulator that come with a mig i bought second hand in 1999. Back then i was using it on a mix gas (D size) without any trouble. 10 years later i used it on the new bottle i got today. I got myself all set up and opened the tap on the gas bottle and kaboom. The regulator just completely exploded! It looked to be in good condition, guess not. I was extremely lucky that my head wasnt in font of it when it went or i might not be here to tell the story.

Did i do something wrong? Or was it just a crappy regulator?

I will be off to the welding shop tomorrow to buy a new regulator. I will be happy to spend some money on it, seeing the potential hazard it can cause.
