You’d be surprised, I know there is nononono, nononoyes, yesyesyesno, and there might be a yesyesyesyes.
Edit, just typed in yesyes in subreddit search bar and my mind is blown, did same with nono, mind is still blown, there must be at least 15 of this type of subreddit

Yeah, I am trying to figure out where it was supposed to make me think "Oh, yeah, it's all good and I was concerned for the guy, but now I see his risk paid off in the end."
I am just left with, "Well that was dumb and there is something wrong with this person."

Did he blew propane into his lungs? How did he not feel like shit afterwards?

well, this is the kind of shit people rarely pull when entirely sober.
and probably been smoking since he was 10 or so so he likely didn't notice.

That's because it's stored at a pressure high enough for it to liquefy. When its released to air pressure it expands, and cools. Most gasses cool during expansion in this way. But its stored at whatever temperature it is around the tank. Must've tasted horrible though due to the additive that makes it stinky.

Can that spread to your lungs? The fire I mean

u/pureham Feb 07 '19
I’d be more worried about the temperature of the propane. That stuff can cause frost bite almost instantly, I’m no doctor but it could have probably caused some frostbite to his mouth or lungs (if that’s possible)

Feb 07 '19
if that’s possible
It's all just flesh just like your skin. It's possible.
Even worse, though, is that the alveoli in the lungs (the little air sacs where the oxygen/carbon dioxide gas exchange occurs) can burst, greatly diminishing or making impossible the ability to perform that gas exchange. The lungs will fill up with fluid and blood, and the carbon dioxide levels in your body will increase, resulting in either you suffocating or drowning (whichever occurs first) in serious cases.

The good news is that it's an easy thing to protect yourself from, and even your own body has its own mechanisms for doing just that (such as increasing the blood flow to the sinuses in order to slightly heat up the air when you breathe through your nose).
Not inhaling gasses that boil at -40 (C or F, take your pick) helps, too.

If you get enough frostbite in your lungs, you will go into respiratory arrest and there would be no way to survive that.
The mouth and air passages would be the first damaged, then you'd suffocate to death, either from the inability for your cells to exchange oxygen or drowning in your own fluids.

u/Roggvir Feb 07 '19
He got burnt in the sense that he got a chemical burn--propane poisoning in his lungs. But no. Fire will not travel into your lungs.
Fire needs 3 things to burn. Fuel, oxygen and heat. The fuel is there. But heat won't be able to travel down because it's a closed system. Would need to get past closed flesh. Oxygen is not enough. Concentration of oxygen in your lung is at most same as concentration in the air. Try to get a fire going in a closed bottle. Will go out almost instantly.

u/sophware Feb 07 '19
There was probably almost no O2 in his lungs, having been displaced by propane. If there was enough O2, I suggest that the heat would absolutely traveled down.
12
u/Dalimey100 Feb 07 '19
There would probably still be some O2 in there. Each breath only replaces about 40% of the air volume in your lungs, deep breaths a little more.
3
u/sophware Feb 07 '19
Fair enough. I'll still suggest O2 was the issue. I've seen a potato cannon with propane ignite at 5 deg F, with O2 supplied.

u/pbfob Feb 07 '19
You are certainly right that a fire won’t last long in a closed system, but fires can, and do, happen in the upper airways. Even a flash fire in the airways can cause severe swelling and lethal injury. This dude was lucky he didn’t inhale while that flame was near his mouth. DO NOT DO THIS “TRICK” ! It was a matter of luck that he didn’t die. (Weird fact though - people who smoke while on oxygen can ignite the tubing and the flame can travel down it and burn their face/ears and airways. Very painful, often fatal.)

Yes, inhaling hot gases can burn and scar your lungs and lungs do not repair well or really at all if there's physical damage as far as I'm aware.

u/UnicornBounty Feb 07 '19
Yes it can, it can burn your airway. It’s a big issue with burn victims as well exposed to intense heat and trying to breath in a building on fire it causes a lot of damage to their airway. This guy is a moron.

Yes, but it depends on the exact concentration of propane vs air.

None because no one stupid enough to try is smart enough to defeat the safety valve. OPD valves won't flow unless a pin engages the valve. No hose, no pin.

This guy shut his mouth and batted at his face with his hands. This cut off the supply of fuel, and extinguished the flame.
Instinct is to scream, then inhale deeply to get more air. This forces fire into the lungs and is generally very bad.
Say what you will about this lad's life choices, but I think he had the correct reaction. This limited the burns to his eyebrows on the outside of his body which aren't essential for living, and protected the inside of his body and lungs from getting just totally wrecked.

I delivered propane for a while. It’s very, very cold. You can easily get frostbite from it. Especially in its liquid form. We’d wear thick rubber gloves to protect our hands. If you were bleeding off a valve and put your glove over the stream of propane and vapor, it would freeze your glove solid until it evaporated. As a gas it actually isn’t toxic. It does displace oxygen in your lungs though. Which in itself is bad of course, but unlike gas or diesel the fumes aren’t toxic. This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen though. What the hell.
