    I think you're confusing natural gas with Propane.  That's the one
    that's mostly a problem for being heavy and sinking to the floor. 
    Natural gas dissipates much better.  In a closed room, of course, any
    gas leak of any kind could build up to dangerous levels, but that's a
    different situation.  If natural gas were so dangerous in the
    basement, there wouldn't be so many water heaters and furnaces in
    people's basements, that run on the stuff...
