A highly respected teacher in my area ( Charlotte, NC ) was killed not to
long ago in a similar incident when he attempted to refuel a hot mower.

How on earth do you get killed doing that? Worst I can see is a *boom*,
drop, roll, *expletive*, "do I have any hair left?" sequence.

The usual sequence:
Fire flashes right in front of you.
Startled intake of breath, consisting of vaporized burning gasoline
blistered lungs
death within hours or days.
