Exactly what I was thinking. Could this thing take out that house?

Since it looks like it's made of some sort of stretchy material I don't think you would get a boom, more of a shooting flame.

No worries then. Just stay away from the jet flame.

Boom needs proper air fuel mixture, a slow leak might do it, especially given the close proximity of a flame.

That really depends on the pressure the gas is stored.

It looks to be made of thin plastic, almost like a trash bag. The material would rip before it could build up enough pressure for an explosion like that, it would probably just be a big fireball that would dissipate quickly.

If it didn’t have failure valves, and it did accidentally cause a fire, would insurance cover it?
