Put yourself where sharks swim and your chances of being injured by one go
up. That said, at my age I have a deep appreciation for anything that
helps one sleep through the night. Propane leaks are pretty far down my
list of middle of the night worries so I can do without one. But if
worrying about it did keep me up, you bet I'd install one.
