Smjesa acetilena i kisika, ako se zapali i uzrokuje eksploziju standardne plinske boce, dovodi do sigurne smrti unutar radijusa od deset metara. Osim opasnosti od pogotka šrapnela cilindra, 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.
