Isang pinaghalong acetylene at oxygen, kung ito ay nag aapoy at nagiging sanhi ng isang standard gas cylinder na sumabog, nagreresulta sa tiyak na pagkamatay sa loob ng sampung metrong radius. Bukod sa panganib na matamaan ng silindro shrapnel, the immediate negative pressure and the blast wave from the explosion are powerful enough to be deadly.
I personally consider a distance of up to 20 meters from the explosion to be fatal. This scenario is exceedingly perilous.
