It might reduce the value of the claim the insurer declines to pay.

Claim for what ?. A safe installation by a competent person
is unlikely to cause any problems. All the incidents of
major gas explosions have been caused either by gross
incompetence, or intentional.

Everyone thinks they are competent and safe.

While one can apply Dunning Kruger to many situations, I get the
impression that when it comes to gas work, joe public is mostly of the
opinion that they are not "allowed to do gas". It generally requires a
much deeper level of understanding to identify the nuance there, and
know when that rule of thumb might not be valid.

Even the people who are grossly incompetent.
An event like this is not a good way to find that out.

Not sure there is really an "event" here...
