or heat his house with an open charcoal pit. This is the person that
has to be reminded at the propane filling station that open flames or
leaking gas could cause explosions.

My dad worked for the Federal Trade Comm. A law suit came in from a guy
who used a gas powered rotary lawnmower to trim the sides of his hedges.
Picked it up, flipped it 90 degrees and trimmed away, till...OOOPS!! He was
hurt, it's the lawnmower company's fault.

Wow! Maybe you can get a case number or some other positive
identifying data about that case, because Snopes has been looking for
something to confirm that story (which has been around for years) but
hasn't been able to find anything.

But don't listen to me:
