A recent viral video caused widespread alarm. A man risked his life. He aimed to prove a point: phone calls near leaking cooking gas won’t cause an explosion.
The individual, intent on his demonstration, performed a hazardous experiment. It took place in a kitchen. Gas was openly escaping.
The Perilous Experiment Unfolds
During the video, the man utilized two mobile phones. One made a standard call. The other initiated a WhatsApp call.
He positioned both devices on active gas burners. There were no flames present. Gas continued to leak freely.
The phones were also placed on the gas cylinder itself. No immediate ignition occurred from either position.
Safety experts confirm a key fact. Mobile phones lack sufficient spark energy to ignite cooking gas. Numerous scientific tests, including MythBusters, support this.
Still, experts warn of extreme danger. Free-flowing gas ignites easily. Static electricity, light switches, and electronics pose risks. Even friction can cause a spark. This could lead to severe fire, explosion, injury, or fatality.
Public Response and Online Discussions
The hazardous stunt elicited varied online reactions. These included fear, humor, and disbelief:
@Dhavidtips commented, “My heart raced while watching. I fully anticipated an explosion.”
@Only1dollyp added, “My father definitely won’t share this on WhatsApp.”
@JanetNkeiru observed, “He risked his future to win an unprovoked argument.”
@RashwalRashwal joked, “This person apparently doesn’t plan to see December 25th.”
The video reignited important discussions. It highlighted risky social media stunts. It also stressed cooking gas safety awareness.
The controversial video is available below.
