I have not heard of a single accident with a HH torch since I came upon the lampwork scene way back in 2002. if your connection is correct, the hose is intact, and the attachment to the worktable is correct, it is a safe set-up.
Actually it IS a plumbers torch and it is designed to work without a hose. At full tank pressures it is a hazard whether you want to hear it or not. Ever wondered why the torch comes directly connected to the 1lb bottle?
