    HA--Like I can afford insurance. :-p 

    No but seriously, I've had this butane torch sitting here on the
    desk in front of me with the pin stuck in the pulled down position
    for about 4 years or so. Every day for 12+ hours a day I sit here,
    lighting up one cig after another.. Plus, I've almost always got a
    nice smelly candle lit. 

    But to be sure, I just now went to the bathroom and over the tub,
    held a lighter for a few minutes right against the torch and nothing
    happened. (Well ok--I slightly melted part of a sticker I have on
    the torch, and my thumb got kinda warm from the Bic) 

    As I said in my original post--the pin does not control the fuel. 

    (The only "pyrotechnics show" I've ever put on were back when I was
    quite new to refilling the butane, and had the spraying-overfill
    thing happen whilst I was a bit too close to a candle. Very minor,
    but still--lesson learned)
