On the gas can thing, years ago I saw a guy filling a 100 gallon transport tank--with gas-- in the back of his pickup that wasn't bolted in and didn't have a ground wire attached. Holy mushroom cloud, Batman.
On all the other safety first things. Yeah, you shouldn't do any of them but part of life is living long enough to be able to look back at the end and marvel at your survival. A friend of mine recently passed away at age 67. Always lived a perfect life with foods, exercise and everything that goes with it. Organic everything. One day he couldn't move his legs, three days later he didn't know who he was and went into hospice care. I think he lived five weeks. Brain tumor.
I've done far worse and lived to tell the tale. I'm not saying to take stupid risks--like the fuel cans in back-- but calculated risks are fine. The odds are way better than playing the lottery.
