While bathing in the bathroom, poisonous gas came out of the gas geyser, causing the person taking bath in the bathroom to suffocate and then suddenly die. This news is certainly shocking, but is forgotten after a few days. This mistake is the most dangerous. Because a gas geyser is not a machine that suddenly breaks down, but is a silent danger that can cost your life with the slightest inattention.

Gas geysers have recently become the cause of death
Recently, a similar heartbreaking case came to light in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. Salim Ahmed’s two sons, 11-year-old Sayan and 4-year-old Ryan, living in Mohalla Shahbazur Jaffa in Sadar Kotwali region, had gone to the bathroom to take a bath as usual around 10am. The bathroom was locked from the inside and the gas geyser was on.
Mother Rukhsar and other children were present in the house. At that time, Salim Ahmed had gone to a nearby salon to shave. When both children did not come out for a long time, the family became worried. The doorbell rang, the door was knocked, but there was no response from inside. Finally the door was broken. Everyone was shocked to see the scene inside; both children lay unconscious on the floor.
The family immediately took him to the district hospital. Doctors declared youngest son Ryan dead, while eldest son Sayan was in critical condition. He was referred to the Higher Center in Bareilly. Although this incident is a painful scene, it also teaches a lesson. It also raises some questions about whether we should use gas geysers in our homes? After all, why can it cause death, how can we stay safe? Apart from this, the biggest question is should we install a gas geyser in our house? Along with all the dangers associated with it, let us know what to look out for when using it.
Why is a gas geyser so dangerous?
Gas geyser heats water with LPG. This process involves partial combustion, which releases carbon monoxide gas. This gas cannot be seen or smelled. This means that a person does not realize that he is breathing in poison. In a closed bathroom, this gas reaches deadly levels within minutes. Cases of first dizziness, then nervousness, unconsciousness and in many cases death have also been reported. We have read about one of the most dangerous accidents and this is not the first and not the last case. Now let us know why people commit suicide in their bathroom?
Why do people install gas geysers?
The biggest reason for this could be that people are getting it installed to avoid rising electricity bills. In short, it does not consume electricity and is economical for large families. But this saving becomes expensive if there is no ventilation in the bathroom, the exhaust fan remains off and the geyser runs for a long time.
most dangerous mistakes
Similar negligence is observed in most accidents:
The bathroom is completely enclosed, no window or skylight, geyser running while bathing, no exhaust fumes and lack of regular service. This risk is even greater for children and the elderly.
What is needed to save lives?
Never install the gas geyser in a completely closed bathroom. Make sure that the ventilation and exhaust fans are always turned on. Before bathing, heat the water and then turn off the geyser. Do not let the water heater run for a long time. Make sure you have leaks and maintenance carried out occasionally. If you feel nervous, dizzy or have difficulty breathing while bathing, immediately go to an open area and contact a doctor, there is no home remedy for this.
Can one carelessness lead to death?
The latest case in the country has come to light from Badaun, and this incident clearly shows that the gas geyser is not an ordinary household appliance. It is a convenience when used correctly, but also a cause of death when used incorrectly.
