Some of the worst and rare burn injuries occur from gas or oil explosions. Gas and oil expands when exposed to heat and may expand sufficiently to cause the vessel containing it to fail. At that point, the exposure of the escaping gas to any source of ignition, even static electricity, may cause a massive explosion with serious and disfiguring injuries to anyone in its path. Leaking propane tanks in the presence of an open flame grill can also be the source of a serious explosion and burn injuries. These type of burn injuries can be very serious and require prolonged medical care and, oftentimes, surgical procedures like skin grafts.
