C'mon, reality check please. We are talking about a standby way of adding some short term extra fuel capacity. As said, beats a pop bottle or three.

And its always a group unusual events when accidents occur, the fuel container issue is just a part of risk reduction for any trip - just like wearing boots instead of thongs. If you want 750kms fuel range, buy a tank or bike that gives you the range.
About 95% of accidents involve another party (5% single vehicle accidents), so whilst you maybe prepared to accept the risk of injury to yourself - maybe other people would take a dimmer view of being sprayed with petrol, especially in remote areas of third world countries where medical help may not be available to them - whilst you get an air ambulance home.
