## Narrative

EE was cutting steel in the weld shop with an oxygen acetylene torch when EE realized the oxygen hose was leaking from a hole.  EE found where the leak was coming from and went to pinch the hose so EE could shut the gas tank off.  As EE pinched the hose, both hoses exploded and ignited sending out a flame that contacted the EE's abdomen.
