I do yea one better. Never lay a lite torch across you lap. I was doing gas weld practice laided LIT torch over my lap. I let go to adjust my work piece the touch rolled and flame shot past my face and burned my hair before I could stop it. I never did that again.
Good point. The cutting torches we use at work get up to approx. 4,100 degrees F. A similar Oxy-acetylene torch will get up to around 6,000 degrees F. Pretty dang hot, and yes there is a potential to get burnt badly if not paying attention or not entirely aware.
