A recent viral video caused widespread alarm. A man risked his life. He aimed to prove a point. He wanted to show a phone call near cooking gas is safe. It cannot cause an explosion.
The man was resolute. He performed this dangerous experiment. It took place in a kitchen. Gas was openly leaking there.
Conducting a Risky Experiment
The video shows the man. He used two mobile phones. One was for a standard call. The other was for a WhatsApp call.
He put both devices on gas burners. The burners were active but flameless. Gas kept escaping during this time.
He also placed the phones on the gas cylinder itself. This demonstrated no immediate ignition occurred.
Safety professionals confirm this. Mobile phones lack sufficient spark energy. They cannot ignite cooking gas. This fact is well-established. Numerous scientific tests, including MythBusters, support it.
Experts still caution against such acts. The man’s actions were very dangerous. Leaking gas is highly flammable. Static electricity, light switches, electronics, or friction can ignite it. This could cause severe fire, explosion, injury, or fatalities.
