For those who worry about propane safety

[MrNoodly]

This probably won't reduce your anxiety.

Look Mom, no brains!

^ Or eye protection!

As Mike Rowe said, safety isn't Job One. Getting the job done is Job One.

He is welding on the top. Every one knows propane is heavy and at the bottom.

Darwin can't be far away, ready to present him with an award. BTW he is not welding he is cutting. he also has his hoses right under where he is cutting. I am sure glad he doesn't work on my stuff. highdesertranger

Someone wanted me to put this here.

Just be sure to come up with a good byline. Eg, "This is why there's a Gaussian Curve for IQ".

Man,that's terrible.$10.90 for a 12 pack of Bud Lite.

LOL I'm sorry, but this is the sort of thing you would see made into a FB meme. It's dangerous but funny.

Picture doesn't scale well in Chrome for Android, but I got the jist from the comments.

Stupid, yes, but it would take an incredibly unlikely set of circumstances to turn it into a disaster.

I dunno guys....this shows you how safe propane can actually be.

Amazingly, my BBQ grill has a large burner with an open flame, just inches from the top of the propane cylinder!

What IS dangerous is getting into a car or van containing 30 gallons of highly flammable gasoline, and mixing it up at high speeds with 200 million clueless drivers on American roadways with only a failure prone airbag and thin nylon belts for your safety net.  

Or walking on board an old, thin, flexible, leaky, aluminum tube containing 30,000 pounds of jet fuel, and trusting some stranger to get you from point A to point B in the thin upper atmosphere, with no parachute or any other way to get yourself out of trouble if something really bad happens. 

Or eating heavily processed food from some third-world country.

Risk management is something we all do, all the time.

Having said that, the picture may even be faked.

:dodgy:

One only has to be in the wrong place at the wrong time to receive a Darwin award posthumously.
As the many instances given by Tx2.
And in the original pic, just one leaky, improperly closed valve and kaboom.
Anyone ever see the show 1001 ways to die?
Morbidly hilarious and unbelievable some of the ways people have won their Darwin awards.

Hey, what's the problem? He wasn't smoking.

Makes you believe in God doesn't it? Someone has to be looking after him for him to have lived so long. You'd think he would have kiled himself long ago.
