Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was dispensing propane from a fixed 1,150-gallon lp gas tank for a customer who brought in a 10-gallon vertical cylinder to be filled. In the process, the cylinder ruptured, killing Employee #1 instantly and injuring the customer. No one else to date has been identified as a witness. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene. The discharged cylinder struck him in the neck, face, and head, then traveled through the air a distance of about 900 feet before landing in a scrap yard. It was found almost 6 hours after the accident.
