Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / May 2008Another propane huge explosion! Odor fade.
http://www.brucegoldfarb.com/propane.htm "The Keltie's Bum Steer explosion is a type of incident that occurs with alarming frequency. According to the National Fire Incident Reporting System, there are about 2,500 propane fires and explosions annually in the US, killing about 20 people and injuring about 330 others. "In many of these cases, survivors report that they never smelled gas. "The propane industry has known for at least 40 years that propane can lose its odor under a variety of circumstances." More at the above link! You are risking life and limb living with propane in your RV. Please heed my sage advice and switch to something more safe.

Wow, 20/330!!!!!! Harry, we really need you to do something about ladders. According to the American Ladder Institute http://www.americanladderinstitute.org/ali/press_releases.asp more than 300 Americans are killed each year and over 500,000 require treatment for injuries because of incidents with ladders. Of course even 300 wouldn't make the top 10 in terms of accidental death causes. Hard to find rankings that even go down to a mere 300, and I'm reasonably sure that both ladders and Propane are only going to wind up in the category "unknown/other."

A far more devastating item exists that, according to the WHO as reported by the CDC <www.cdc.gov> caused over 400,000 deaths in the year 2000 alone! For details, go to <http://www.dhmo.org> .
