Well first he has certainly not taken safety into mind when doing this project.
Look at the way he's dressed. (With no protection clothing or eyes or anything).
Look at how close he comes to the gasoline.
Look at how he's seated so he can't even get away quickly.
Look how there is no protective shield.
He doesn't even appear to have anyone else there in case of an emergency.
He has enough intelligence and curiosity to attempt this but not enough to protect himself. More or less what I would imagine from someone much younger, certainly not a grown man.
