| | | I'm not sure this fits under clumsy so much as stupid, but here it goes anyways. In my mid teens (I'd estimate I was around 16), I hadn't yet come out to my parents as a smoker, so I'd smoke outside, or on my second floor back porch, which was an uninsulated room with great ventilation, and could be locked from the inside, making it ideal. One day, I was smoking out of a brand new bong, in said back porch with a good friend, when we discovered a propane blow torch. Being 16 year olds, and being fairly stoned, we decided it was a great idea to try and light the bong with it. What we didn't realize was that it had a leak where the torch met the propane tank. I turned the propane flow on, and lit it with a lighter, at which point it became very clear we were in trouble. Fire was not only coming out the nozzle, it was encircling the top half of the propane tank! We both started panicking, convinced that it was going to explode, and I did the only thing I could think of, which was smashing it repeatedly against the floor. Somehow, this put the fire out, and we threw it out into my back lane. I don't like to think about what could have happened if we hadn't been so lucky, but it probably would have involved shrapnel and hospital visits.

| Propane tanks don't explode. They are designed to pop the top and shoot flames.
