While butane is a flammable gas, in order for an explosive event to occur there needs to be an ignition source or spark. This spark can come from common sense items such as a lighter or pilot light on a stove, but sparks can also occur in less obvious ways. Electric sparks can be created simply by wearing clothes - the common "shock" one experiences after shuffling around with socks on and touching a metal object is sufficient to cause an explosive event if the concentration of butane is at 1.86% of atmospheric levels.

Both a spark and a sufficient quantity of butane are necessary for an explosion to occur - if either one of these is lacking, by pure chance, an explosive event will not occur. Just because there have been experiences of producing B.H.O. indoors without explosive events does not mean it is a safe practice; this element of chance can render a dangerous operation inert.
