I personally think that running a torch with the tank between my legs is more potentially dangerous than having it sitting beside me attached by a hose.
Yes, carelessness is always a hazard, but if you do your research, make sure your hoses are intact, and your connections are tight, I can't see that using a bulk tank and a hose is significantly more dangerous than using the torch with the tank attached directly.
It's all dangerous, isn't it? Lighting the gas range is dangerous if you aren't careful.
