Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad your family and everyone survived. Prayers for quick healing!
I don't think you were in big danger from propane and certainly not enough to suggest that everyone on the planet turns off their propane when traveling.
Having a large rig was probably more danger than a properly functioning propane tank.
Now if you said, "Don't haul a 5th wheel camper because I wrecked in mine" you'd "save" more lives (about 10k/year?) due to 5th wheel accidents than the freak circumstances of a propane safety device rupture and failure (1 every 5-7 years?) But nobody would make such a wild statement ;)
Our sympathy is not lessened due to disagreeing with your wild statement. But our sympathy does not compel us to accept it, either.
Please keep them separate as we readers do and know we have deep sympathy for you.
