He almost poured it on the fucking propane line

I can't get over the the complete idiocy of doing this in close proximity to a pressurized fuel tank with the valve in the open position, using a rubber hose to feed the burner.

From the imgur comments.

When I first got into metal casting, I saw how hot things were getting around the forge, and immediately ordered a beefier steel-clad heat-rated hose, and decided to redo my entire setup so nothing got anywhere close to the propane tank.

Some people don't even think about safety when doing things that could burn down their house.

i kinda expected this video to somehow still go over smoothly ... like you see these indian guys doing really dangerous stuff with flipflops and an attitude ... but no, he's just a moron.

I'm a hobby welder/caster and I can't believe anyone is this stupid... Yet here we are!

I appreciate how the title indicates which part of this will go wrong, given that this setup has so many possible ways to go wrong that you can't be sure in advance which one it will be.

Everything works out fine and the guy isn't burned horribly at all
