One would have to be extraordinarily unlucky to die from a gas cylinder accident.

The risks are over magnified in most people's eyes.

Biggest risk in a situation like this isn't an explosion; it's one of those bottles having the valve knocked off the end, turning it into an uncontrolled rocket before it runs out of leaking gas to propel it. That's why they have those big chonky collars at the end.
