It's a tragic thing to lose a loved one suddenly like this, but when it happens right in front of you it can be magnified many times over (as I can relate to). I would hope this guy receives not just the physical care he needs but psychological as well. Events as this can serve to help others understand the dangers in everyday activities and help us all to not become complacent in our lives. I, for one, have a small BBQ with the small propane bottles and have placed the bottle right next to the unit while using it. I don't think I will ever do this again. I have already been thinking of modifying the BBQ with a heat shield barrier between the bottle and BBQ.
